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.
