NYC mayoral candidates trade barbs after Cuomo announces return to race

Democratic, Republicans and independent candidates of the mayor of New York City often do not agree, but they seem to be in a move to lock the opinion that New York residents want a different person from former ruler Andrew Como to manage the great apple.

Zahran Mamdani and Cortis Slawa, Democratic and Republican candidates for the New York City mayor, rushed to respond to Andrew Como’s announcement that he would remain in the race as an independent after the former ruler of New York lost the democratic preliminary elections a few weeks ago. During the Komo bombing, the husband also took advantage of the opportunity to capture the current independent mayor’s candidate Eric Adams, who said, on Monday, “Komo had” his opportunity “already, but the New York residents no longer buys his message.

“Andrew Khasir is two numbers in the preliminary elections. He lost 12 points. He had his chance. He spent $ 25 million to create his message. New York heard it. He did not sell it,” Adams said at a press conference on Monday. The comments followed a separate press statement whose campaign was put on Sunday amid rumors, as Cuomo will re -join the race as if it were independent, saying that “dual political overlap” in Komo was the reason for “confidence” in New York.

“I welcome everyone in this race, and I have been sure that I had three weeks ago on the elementary night when Andrew Komo faced,” Mamdani’s Democratic Party candidate said at a press conference on Monday. “We did this because of the fact that while Andrew Como and Eric Adams are roaming themselves to make deals in the back rooms with billionaires, we focus on fighting for the work of New York residents. [Cuomo’s primary loss] I mean. “

Mamdani added that although Komo may imagine himself as the next mayor, democratic democratic results showed “New York City’s hunger for a new type of politics.”

“I understand that it is difficult for the former ruler to reconcile with [his loss] Since it is disturbed by the policy he practiced until he knows for many years, the same policy that the page runs. “

Mamdani’s failure to walk these situations may lead to an account in the Democratic Party:

“Andrew Komo has lost the preliminary elections and is hiding in Hamptons. Eric Adams crossed him and fled to Fort Lauderdale. Now both are running independent to cling to the importance.” “I am the only candidate to have a great candidacy for the party, recorded 50 years in the service of the New York residents, and a real way to win. While playing music chairs on a sunken ship, I am outside the campaign in New York City, listening, and fighting to win it.

In response to criticism, Cuomo’s campaign representative recorded Adams’s comments.

“This is essential that the mayor has not been involved because he knows that he will lose,” Rich Azobardi told Fox News Digital. “The ruler got another 36,000 votes three weeks ago from what the mayor got four years ago, when he was at the height of his popularity and people really wanted to give him a chance.”

Azzopardi also referred to an email sent to supporters on Monday, noting that he had “made mistakes in the primary stage”, such as being very comfortable with the poll that showed that he was the first candidate. Email also spoke to Mamdani, but it did not treat Sliwa directly.

“I do not think that voters in New York City voted positively in favor of a socialist form of the government hostile to commercial and economic growth, and I think Zahran Mamdani is a serious threat to the future of the city we love. I will all give it to prevent him.”

“I also think that we all love New York City must unite in managing the strongest possible candidate against Zahran Mamdani in the general elections in November of the mayor. The candidates will descend, instead of working as spoilers and guaranteeing the election of Mamdani.”

On Monday, current Mayor Adams criticized the Komo proposal in his e -mail for supporters, who seeks to obtain the rest of the campaign’s field to pledge unification about the strongest non -Mamdani candidate.

“This suggestion that was put forward. Andrew’s proposal was that he uses people to put out the things he really wants to come later and says:” Well, I support what an independent person does, “Adams said on Monday.
