On Tuesday, May 6th, Andrew Cuomo confirmed that he will run under an independent party line, “Fight and Deliver,” securing a place on the general mayoral election ballot, regardless of the outcome of the June Democratic primary.

Cuomo, who has led recent polling for the Democratic nomination, emphasized that the current political climate demands new leadership, saying, “Over the last several months, as I’ve been out talking to New Yorkers, one thing has become clear: there is a disillusionment with the Democratic Party by some—a feeling that the party has been hijacked, that it doesn’t produce real results, and that it doesn’t fight for working people anymore.” 

His decision to run under an independent ballot line serves as a strategic effort to secure a broader path to the November election. While Cuomo is currently favored to win the Democratic primary, the city’s ranked-choice voting system introduces uncertainty into the race. Under this system, candidates who do not initially lead can still emerge victorious if they’re ranked second, third, and fourth-choice on ballots. With growing support for his primary competitor, Zohran Mamdani, the outcome of the primary remains unpredictable.

If Cuomo loses the Democratic primary, his independent party line guarantees his continued presence in the race. He would face competition from the winner of the Democratic primary, current Mayor Eric Adams, who has already announced his intention to run under two newly created party lines, as well as Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, Conservative candidate Irene Estrada and Independent candidate Jim Walden.

Cuomo’s decision to establish an independent party line has led to varying interpretations. Some view it as a way to ensure his participation in the general election, while others believe it is a precautionary step in case his primary campaign does not succeed. Either way, it adds another layer of complexity to what is already shaping up to be a competitive race for New York City’s top office. 

As the primaries draw closer, the political dynamics in the city continue to shift. Cuomo’s campaign and Mamdani’s growing momentum set the stage for a dramatic and unpredictable election season.
