Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) took a swing at Democrats in a report published Tuesday by The New York Times.
“The Democratic Party is not meeting the moment,” Cuomo said in an interview with the Times. “I think the Democratic Party has created the moment.”
In June, New York state Assembly member Zohran Mamdani defeated the former governor in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor. It was a stunning upset, as Cuomo had been widely expected to win.
Current New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) formally endorsed Mamdani on Sunday in a New York Times op-ed. The Empire State governor said she has “had frank conversations with” Mamdani and "disagreements."
“But in our conversations, I heard a leader who shares my commitment to a New York where children can grow up safe in their neighborhoods and where opportunity is within reach for every family,” Hochul said in her Times piece.
Cuomo responded to Hochul’s endorsement in the Tuesday report from the Times.
“Everybody makes a political decision on a political endorsement and what works for their politics, and that’s obviously her decision,” Cuomo said, according to the outlet. “I don’t think endorsements mean that much in campaigns anymore in general.”
Mamdani welcomed Hochul’s endorsement in a post on the social platform X on Sunday.
“Thank you @KathyHochul! I’m grateful for the Governor's support in unifying our party, her resolve in standing up to Trump, and her focus on making New York affordable. I look forward to the great work we will accomplish together,” he said.
“Our movement is only growing stronger,” Mamdani added.
