During a new interview, former New York governor Andrew Cuomo declared that Democratic New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's policies would cause the "death" of the city.

In the weeks since the primary, several prominent donors who had been supportive of Cuomo pledged their support to Adams in the general election, including billionaire hedge-fund managers Dan Loeb and Bill Ackman, both of whom have become so entwined with the Adams operation that they have helped vet campaign hires.

Andrew Cuomo — who infamously paraded around his control over the MTA while governor — proposed City Hall take over the reins of the transit authority as he tries to revive an independent bid for mayor following his embarrassing primary loss.

Cuomo said he believes he still has a chance against Mamdani, despite losing to the liberal candidate in the Democratic primary in June.
