Fed’s Powell opens door to potential rate cuts at Jackson Hole
Investing.com -- Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Monday he plans to remain in the New York City mayoral race despite losing the Democratic primary to state lawmaker Zohran Mamdani last month.
"The fight to save our city isn’t over," Cuomo said in a video released Monday. "The general election is in November and I am in it to win it. My opponent Mr. Mamdani offers slick slogans, but no real solutions."
Cuomo lost to Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, by 12 points in the Democratic primary held in June. Following the defeat, many speculated Cuomo would exit the race.
According to a Monday report by Bloomberg quoting people inside his campaign, Cuomo reviewed post-election polling data and believes he represents a stronger challenge to Mamdani in the November general election than current Mayor Eric Adams.
Cuomo will reportedly pledge to withdraw from the race if polls by early September show he is not the highest-polling opponent against Mamdani, the report added.
The New York City mayoral general election is scheduled for November 2025.
