New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo announced Tuesday that he will run on a new third-party ballot line in the general election, despite his sizable lead in the run-up to the Democratic primary.
The move would allow the former governor to compete in November even if he loses the June primary. And it could help him appeal to non-Democrats in what could be a competitive general election – a rare event in majority-Democratic New York City made more likely by the fact that incumbent Mayor Eric Adams is also running as an independent.
Cuomo said in a statement that he would seek to appeal to “disillusioned Democrats, as well as independents and Republicans” by running on an independent ballot line called “Fight and Deliver.”
