In a video posted to social media, Cuomo cast the race as a direct contest between himself and Mamdani, omitting mention of Adams, Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, or fellow independent Jim Walden. The footage featured Cuomo walking through the city and engaging with residents—imagery that Politico noted echoed Mamdani’s own viral campaign style.

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Monday that he will continue his run for New York City mayor after losing to Zohran Mamdani in last month's Democratic primary. "I'm in it to win it," Cuomo said in a post on X.
