“What you just saw was the most explosive show of political strength by the DSA.” - Andrew Cuomo on the democratic primary nymag.com/intelligencer/…
This video, shot yesterday during Cuomo’s time in the East 90s (the moment is described in @freedlander’s New York Magazine piece published this AM), is the only public move so far from the candidate who pledged in his relaunch video and email to run a more active campaign:
Andrew Cuomo just posted this video on threads with no caption.
Cuomo often ventriloquises his opponents/detractors in interviews; it can be hard to tell when he is doing that but his camp has said to me as well that that is what he was doing here, and that ofc Andrew Cuomo is not "anti-billionaire"
A Cuomo spox tells me that the former governor was not declaring himself to be "anti-billionaire" in these comments to New York magazine, but was merely describing Mamdani's position.

“Cuomo could sound at times like someone who was not so much running to lead the city but rather running against it (much as many candidates for statewide office do) — describing NYC as a dark and dangerous place that needed a steady hand to lead” nymag.com/intelligencer/…
Cuomo, in an interview after shooting his relaunch video on the Upper East Side--that he drove to--says: "Everybody I talk to says, ‘You have to run. We’re in trouble. We’re in trouble.’" (Some who've talked to him have said he shouldn't keep running.) nymag.com/intelligencer/…
Ahaha apparently Cuomo now supports fast free buses and freezing the rent
