Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo will stay in the New York City mayoral race as an independent candidate despite his stunning loss in the Democratic Party's primary election to self-described democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani.

The former governor made his pitch to Wall Street, attacking Zohran Mamdani’s “unrealistic proposals and divisive agenda.”

Mamdani is slated to meet with business and law firm leaders in the city on Tuesday and Wednesday through visits with the business group Partnership for New York City.

In a highly polarized race, though, endorsements may have limited impacts. And there’s often a question of whether something that sounds like a stamp of approval really is a full-throated endorsement.

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a video released Monday that he will run an independent campaign for New York City mayor, weeks after losing the Democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani.

A New York GOP official told Newsweek that whether Rep. Mike Lawyer or Rep. Elise Stefanik are ultimately the nominee, Republicans have "a deep bench."

One of the shinier proposals from New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is to make the city's bus system fare-free. As New Yorkers debate the idea’s feasibility, lawmakers in Westchester County are working to crack down on fare evasion after years of offering free-bus programs.

Trump labels New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani a "communist" as Republicans aim to paint the progressive assemblyman as an extremist ahead of midterm elections.

An Arizona special election primary Tuesday to replace the late Rep. Raúl Grijalva is the latest flare-up of the Democratic Party’s clashes over age and experience.
