"On Monday, an email urged recipients to donate to Cuomo. This was one day after the mayor dropped his re-election bid and was the final day of fundraising before the next deadline for campaigns to file their contributions received between Aug. 19 and Sept. 29. With Mayor Adams stepping out of the race, today marks a pivotal moment in the NYC mayoral election, it stated. Today is the day to support the Andrew Cuomo campaign so he can defend NYC against radical socialist policies."
"A poll released this month (before Adams bowed out) found that 46 percent of likely voters intend to cast their ballot for Zohran Mamdani. The poll, by the New York Times and Siena University, showed Cuomo in second with 24, but those margins narrow if Sliwa drops out. If the general election ends up being a two-way contest between Mamdani and Cuomo, the former would take 48 percent of the vote and the latter 44 percent, according to the poll."
"Epstein thinks with Adams out, Cuomo can consolidate moderate voters. He acknowledged that some in the industry are not as optimistic. Some people talk like Mamdani's inevitable, but New Yorkers don't back inevitability, they back resilience, he said in an email. Meanwhile, one industry source told me that, absent Sliwa dropping out or an act of God, Mamdani is likely to be the next mayor."
An email sent Monday urged donations to Andrew Cuomo one day after Mayor Adams dropped his re-election bid and on the final day to report contributions for the Aug. 19–Sept. 29 filing period. Jared Epstein of Aurora Capital Associates sent the email and says the effort helped raise $80,000, potentially more than $500,000 with public matching funds pending determination. Epstein believes Cuomo can consolidate moderate voters with Adams out, though some in the industry are less optimistic and expect Zohran Mamdani to prevail. A New York Times–Siena poll before Adams withdrew showed Mamdani leading and Cuomo trailing; Curtis Sliwa remains in the race.
