The defeated NYC mayoral candidate criticized supporters who booed as he congratulated Democratic winner Zohran Mamdani.
The former governor, part of New York’s political firmament for nearly half a century, finished what may be his final campaign with a bruising loss to Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayor’s race.
Republicans like President Trump, Stephen Miller and Elon Musk endorsed him ahead of New York City’s mayoral election. Stephen Colbert referred to them as “everyone New Yorkers love.”
In an interview on the eve of Tuesday’s election against Democratic front-runner Zohran Mamdani and Republican Curtis Sliwa, Cuomo’s radio silence caught the “Ebro in the Morning” crew off-guard. “Your boy was just on ‘60 Minutes,’ Cuomo, saying you’re his guy!” Darden told Cuomo in a clip shared by MeidasTouch.
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has a long list of accomplishments, many of them progressive. In the race for New York City mayor, that experience hasn't given him the boost he wanted.
Before a dwindling and forlorn crowd, Andrew Cuomo conceded defeat in the New York City mayor’s race, but still somehow conceded little else.
The room is beginning to fill in 30 minutes before polls close. A large man stood up near the front. “I was a MAGA Republican candidate for mayor for New York City,” he said, before ripping on the other candidates: Republican Curtis Sliwa is a “spoiler,” Mamdani is a communist. “I have my own daughter, he said. “She’s woke. She wants free stuff.”
It’s not the O.J. Bronco,” the former New York governor said, after a picture of him in the car was viewed millions of times online.
