A defiant Andrew Cuomo tried to spin his second humiliating loss to fledgling lawmaker Zohran Mamdani as a repudiation of the socialist’s ideal — insisting it was the “right fight to wage.”
The ex-governor, standing with his daughters and speaking to a packed room in Manhattan, praised the historic turnout of Tuesday that topped 2 million for the first time in more than 50 years.
“This campaign was the right fight for which I am proud of what we did and what we did together,” he said.
“It’s also important to note that almost half of New Yorkers did vote to support a government agenda that makes promises that we know cannot be met,” Cuomo said in a dig at the mayoral-elect Zohran Mamdani’s lofty promises for a grab bag of socialist freebies.
