In lieu of a traditional mayoral endorsement, the New York Times Editorial Board on Monday advised voters against placing Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani (D-Queens) on their ballot and raised “serious objections” to former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s “ethics and conduct.”
The board, which in 2021 called for Cuomo’s resignation as governor following a slew of sexual harassment allegations, expressed greater concern in Monday’s editorial with Mamdani than Cuomo, who resigned as governor in 2021.
