Andrew Cuomo will not drop out of the New York City mayoral race by the Friday deadline to remove himself from the general election ballot, sources tell CNN. That leaves in place contingency plans he had established before the Democratic primary to challenge Zohran Mamdani and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams in November.

Jonah Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Dispatch, said that Mamdani’s victory in the New York Democratic mayoral primary was ‘disastrous’ for the city.

After losing the Democratic primary, former NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo will stay on NYC mayor's race ballot in November, competing against four others.
