Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who got pummeled in the Democratic primary last month, announced Monday that he will actively run in the mayoral general election as an independent against Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams.
Cuomo made the revelation in a one-and-a-half-minute video posted online Monday afternoon. The video features him speaking directly to the camera in a park, wearing a short-sleeved white button-down shirt, intercut with clips of him interacting with New Yorkers on the streets.
