Trump derrangement syndome at its best…
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday said that he would “welcome” an endorsement of his mayoral campaign from incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who dropped out of the race earlier this week but not from the president of the United States.
“I would welcome his support. You know, this is a general election, it’s Democrats, Republicans, independents,” Cuomo, who is running as an third-party candidate, told NBC News “Meet the Press NOW.”
“I would welcome the mayor’s support. I’d welcome big tent support,” Cuomo added.
The former Democratic governor said that he would not accept an endorsement from President Donald Trump, who has been outspoken about his opposition to Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani’s candidacy.
“The tent isn’t that big,” Cuomo told “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker when asked about a potential endorsement from Trump.
“That’s the limitation,” Cuomo added. “I have not had a conversation, nor would I accept an endorsement from President Trump.”
Cuomo, who resigned from his post as governor in 2021 after facing multiple allegations of sexual harassment, kicked off an independent run for mayor in July after losing in the Democratic primary to Mamdani, a state assemblyman and democratic socialist.
A new Fox News survey of New York City registered voters finds Mamdani, the Democratic Party’s nominee and self-proclaimed Democrat Socialist, leading the race by 18 percentage points with 45% support.
Former New York governor and independent candidate Andrew Cuomo comes in second with 27%, Republican Party nominee Curtis Sliwa gets 11% .
