Cuomo Escalates Campaign with Controversial Attacks on Rival Mamdani

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo intensifies his mayoral campaign against rival Zohran Mamdani with controversial attacks, labeling him as too extreme amid poor polling as an independent.

• In his campaign for mayor of New York City, Andrew Cuomo escalated attacks against Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, who he claims holds extreme views.
• Cuomos controversial strategy includes suggesting that Zohran Mamdani is a terrorist sympathizer, significantly raising the stakes in their political rivalry.
• As Cuomo, now running as an independent, struggles with low polling numbers, he aims to undermine the Democratic Party (United States) candidates credibility ahead of the election.
