Not Cuoing anywhere.
Andrew Cuomo is expected to announce this week that he is staying in the New York mayoral race as an independent, despite the latest polls showing his odds of winning are slim.
The former governor is going to unveil his independent candidate bid this week, sources told NewsNation — but there is a catch.
After his announcement, Cuomo is going to ask all of the candidates — except for socialist Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani — to vow to drop out of the race come mid-September if they are not in the lead, himself included, a source close to the candidate told NewsNation.
The Post has reached out to Cuomo’s campaign for comment.
The decision comes despite polls showing the former governor trailing Mamdani.
The latest survey from from political consulting firm Slingshot Strategies has Mamdani comfotable leading with 35% of the vote, followed by Cuomo on 25%, Republican Curtis Sliwa in third with 14%, and Eric Adams in fourth with a paltry 11%.
