Cuomo Says He’ll Be Aggressive This Time

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (I) is preparing an audacious run for New York City mayor as an independent and is determined to go after Democratic nominee Zohan Mamdani (D) in a way he did not in the primary, New York Magazine reports.

Said Cuomo: “I never really debunked his proposals because I just didn’t engage. That was a mistake. I made a mistake.”

He added: “I was not as aggressive as I should be, which is really ironic because my whole life people have been saying about me, ‘Oh, he’s too aggressive, too combative, pushes too hard.’ And then in this campaign, it’s ‘I’m not aggressive enough,’ which is actually true. And it was just a mistake, and it’s not a mistake I’m going to make again.”
