Sources confirmed that Cuomo will not decline to run on an independent ballot line, ahead of a Friday deadline to pull his name from the November ballot.

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will stay on the New York City mayoral ballot in November on an independent line, a source close to the campaign confirmed.

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

I said, “Andrew, are you that level of arrogance?” I’m the sitting mayor, the sitting mayor of the City of New York,” Adams claimed he told Cuomo.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Andrew Cuomo asked him to drop his independent bid for reelection as the former New York governor considers whether to continue with his own candidacy.

Andrew Cuomo has no plans to drop out of the New York City mayor’s race by a Friday deadline, according to a person familiar with the matter, meaning that his name will appear on the ballot in November as an independent.
