"If Cuomo wants the vote of New York Republicans, come over to us and offer us something,"
"Why doesn't he come meet with us at our clubhouse and promise us a certain number of deputy mayors? And then maybe, maybe, maybe we'll think about supporting him."
"When you are running as the non-Democratic nominee, everyone matters because the Democratic nominee is walking in with 45% of the vote,"
Andrew Cuomo is seeking Republican support in the New York City mayoral race while running as an independent. A faction of city Republicans is demanding concrete concessions, such as deputy mayor appointments, before considering backing Cuomo. The race narrowed after Mayor Eric Adams withdrew, leaving Cuomo, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, and Republican Curtis Sliwa as the primary contenders. Polling shows Mamdani with a lead and suggests Cuomo gains little from Adams' exit, meaning Cuomo would need further consolidation of the field or increased voter turnout to overcome the Democratic baseline.
