Cuomo, who lost the primary to socialist candidate zohran Mamdani, acknowledged Mamdani&#8217;s strong appeal among younger voters. After the loss, Cuomo decided to continue his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/get-fed-leftists-slam-andrew-yang-for-support-of-israel-yangsupportsgenocide-trends\/\" title=\"\u2018Get F***ed.\u2019 Leftists Slam Andrew Yang For Support Of Israel, #YangSupportsGenocide Trends\">mayoral run<\/a> as an self-reliant. He described the political climate as polarized, with an &#8220;extreme left, socialist movement&#8221; rising in response to an &#8220;extreme right&#8221; faction.<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo also responded to criticism from current Mayor Eric adams, who accused him of having issues with Black men in leadership and sabotaging past Black political candidates. Cuomo denied these claims, citing support from some Black leaders and arguing that voters do not base decisions on race or gender identity.He criticized Mamdani as anti-business, anti-Capitalist, anti-police, and accused him of fueling antisemitism, though Cuomo expressed confidence he could win in a head-to-head race against Mamdani. The mayoral campaign has been contentious, with Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa also verbally attacking both Cuomo and Adams.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Cuomo says he neglected &lsquo;under-30 vote&rsquo; in NYC Democratic primary<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2178831\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3477183\/new-york-city-mayor-says-hostile-immigrants-warrant-action\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">New York City<\/a> mayoral candidate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3471536\/former-obama-staffer-knocks-cuomo-campaign-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Andrew Cuomo<\/a> made &ldquo;some mistakes&rdquo; in the Democratic primary, saying Monday he did not capitalize on voters under 30, a demographic that &ldquo;exploded&rdquo; in this cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo, 67, is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3470575\/andrew-cuomo-mayor-race-new-york-staying-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">running as an independent<\/a> after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/3453181\/cuomo-concedes-zohran-mamdani-nyc-mayoral-primary-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">losing the Democratic primary race<\/a> to socialist Zohran Mamdani in June.
