Prominent civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton urged former Gov. Andrew Cuomo to drop out of the New York City mayoral race during a Wednesday interview on MSNBC.
Sharpton, who did not endorse a candidate, said it would be in Cuomo’s and New Yorkers’ best interests for him to abandon his pursuit of the mayor’s office through an independent ballot line in the November general election. Cuomo lost the Democratic primary to Queens Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani but will appear on the November ballot as an independent candidate.
