And @GovKathyHochul responds to @lawler4ny not running against her saying “he doesn’t have the spine to face me.”

NEW: @lawler4ny has decided to not run for Governor, instead running to hold onto his congressional seat. @PIX11News

NEW: recent polling had @jimfornyc at 1% to which he says is not a reason to drop out or step aside yet. “Where was @ZohranKMamdani five months ago, he was at 1%” More tonight on #PIXonPolitics at 6:30pm on @PIX11News

NEW: after @NYCMayor said the September poll ideas was nobody other then @andrewcuomo’s, I spoke to @jimfornyc who says it was his idea, and that he never coordinated or spoke to Cuomo. He also says he doesn’t have details of how it’ll be conducted yet, wants everyone’s input.

NEW: @andrewcuomo is proposing that the MTA be run by the mayor and NYC, not the state- a move he brushed off when he was Governor. “just imagine NYC with a clean, effective subway system,” he says @PIX11News MORE: pix11.com/news/local-new…

ICYMI: @andrewcuomo doesn’t call the September plan a poll, nor will he say who he will support if he’s not the leader after its conducted. But, he does say he will step aside if he is not the leader in September. “Just ask who you like between A and B.” Dan: “that’s a poll”

NEW: @andrewcuomo reacts to comments made by President Trump, who said he thinks Cuomo could win against a ‘communist,’ meaning @ZohranKMamdani “The President is a Republican and I’m a democrat. He calls him a communist, he’s a socialist” @PIX11News

NEW: I asked @andrewcuomo that since he lost the Democraric Primary, what does it say that he isn’t supporting the nominee, @ZohranKMamdani “They’re running a socialist on the democratic part, that’s what’s happening,” says Cuomo More: pix11.com/news/local-new…

NEW: I asked @andrewcuomo if perhaps seeing some of the polls (like ours) narrow or even have @ZohranKMamdani winning and dismissing them was arrogance. “It was also wrong because he won in a way that Emerson didn’t predict either.” Full interview: pix11.com/news/local-new…

With @andrewcuomo as he rides the subway and meets voters. Full interview to come. @PIX11News

NEW: President Donald Trump just told reporters that @andrewcuomo should stay in the NYC Mayor’s race. “I think he has a good shot at winning,” says Trump. You know he’s running against s communist,” referring to @ZohranKMamdani @PIX11News

ICYMI: “I’m in this through the end,” says @NYCMayor, tossing aside any notion he’ll bow out sooner. “I have a masters in public administration, a PHD in Cuomo,” says Adams, who believes the September poling plan was a Cuomo idea , which Cuomo denies. pix11.com/news/morning/i…

ICYMI: @MTA chairman Janno Lieber says issues we saw with subway flooding and geysers are from “a problem we have to address which is the city’s sewer system.” The @NYCMayor said they always communicate with the MTA but this is “news to me.” pix11.com/news/transit/m…
