Fresh off losing New York’s Democratic primary for mayor to Zohran Mamdani, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday ramped up his efforts to push the incumbent mayor, Eric Adams, out of the race.

Sources told CNN that Cuomo's team believes the general electorate could be more receptive to his candidacy than primary voters.

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo called state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani to congratulate him Tuesday night, saying he won the New York City Democratic mayoral primary election.
