NYC mayoral race: Bronx Rep. Torres endorses former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has yet to officially jump into the primary

Democratic Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres has made his choice in the NYC mayoral race: former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has yet to formally enter the contest.

Torres, in a statement, said he is endorsing Cuomo because the former Democratic governor has the “competence and courage” the city needs in a leader right now.
