Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo is launching a third party to run in the November general election even as he leads the Democratic primary field by double digits—a move that Mayor Eric Adams interpreted as mimicking his own third-party bid.
Cuomo, in a lengthy statement released by his campaign on Tuesday, said that even if he secures the Democratic nomination on June 24, he would also run on the newly formed “Fight and Deliver Party” line. He made the move even as he has maintained front-runner status with seven weeks until the June 24 primary.
