Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is running as an independent candidate in the November 4 New York City mayoral election after losing the Democratic primary. Cuomo decided to run independently following his primary defeat by Zohran Mamdani amid shifting political alliances and low Democratic turnout.
The mayoral race also includes incumbent Eric Adams and Republican Curtis Sliwa, both running as independents, creating a competitive multi-candidate field.

According to a recent poll by Slingshot Strategies, Mamdani leads with 35% support, followed by Cuomo at 25%, Sliwa with 14%, and Adams receiving 11% backing.
Cuomo has publicly urged all non-leading candidates to pledge to withdraw by mid-September to consolidate opposition to Mamdani, but Adams has rejected this call.
