Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo will run in New York City’s mayoral race as a third-party candidate, after losing the primary for the Democratic nomination last month.
“The fight to save our city isn’t over. Only 13% of New Yorkers voted in the June primary. The general election is in November, and I am in it to win it,” Cuomo said in a video posted to X.
Cuomo will appear on the “Fight and Deliver” ballot line, an independent party he created. In May, Cuomo said he would run on this third-party line regardless of whether he won the Democratic primary or not, because his “campaign will work to build the largest possible coalition and secure the biggest possible mandate. We will be responsive to those who want to support my candidacy, but who would like an alternate way to do it.”
