New York City mayoral candidate and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo is rejecting claims that he is President Donald Trump’s preferred choice in the city’s high-stakes race, calling the suggestion “ludicrous” in an interview on Monday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
Cuomo, running as an independent after losing the Democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani earlier this summer, said the contest will ultimately come down to a stark choice between him and the Democratic Socialist state assemblyman. He said that Republicans want Mamdani to win, not him, because his victory would give them ammunition to portray Democrats as dominated by the far left.
