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.

Former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo is expected to announce his commitment to a third-party run against Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, who soundly defeated him in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor.

As he weighed whether to stay on as an independent, Cuomo began losing support from traditional allies. Key labor unions backed Mamdani and the Rev. Al Sharpton, an influential Black leader, urged Cuomo to step aside.
