From NBC News: Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Monday that he will continue his run for New York City mayor after losing to Zohran Mamdani in last month’s Democratic primary.
“I’m in it to win it,” Cuomo said in a post on X.
Cuomo stepped down as New York governor in 2021 after being hit with numerous sexual harassment allegations, but had been considered the front-runner in the Democratic primary due to his longstanding political ties and influence in the Democratic establishment.
Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assemblyman, wound up surging ahead of Cuomo in the final weeks of the campaign as he touted a progressive vision for a new direction for the city.

Many people on social media are warning that Cuomo was just split the vote and allow Mamdani, a Muslim and a socialist, to win the race.
