2025 mayoral challengers attack Andrew Cuomo amid fresh reports he will soon enter the fray

Fresh chatter that former Gov. Andrew Cuomo will soon jump into the 2025 Democratic mayoral primary sparked a volley of rebukes from some of the race’s already declared candidates.

Left-leaning City Comptroller Brad Lander and socialist Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani (D-Queens) wasted no time on Nov. 26 in blasting Cuomo for reportedly continuing to circle around next year’s mayor’s race without officially jumping in. Their broadsides against Cuomo were sparked by a Tuesday Jewish Insider report citing three annonymous sources who indicated Cuomo will imminently launch his bid for mayor.
