Cuomo Blames Sliwa for NYC Mayoral Loss

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo blames Republican Curtis Sliwa for his loss in the New York City mayoral race, claiming Sliwas seven percent of the vote was the deciding factor. Cuomo, who finished with forty-one point six percent, believes Sliwas presence in the race as an independent spoiled his chances, allowing democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani to win with fifty percent of the vote. Cuomo expressed surprise that Sliwa stayed in the race and found it hard to believe a Republican would support a democratic socialist. This unexpected victory has raised concerns among establishment Democrats about Mamdanis potential influence in the party. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered. Hosted on Acast.
