Reverend Al Sharpton has publicly urged former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to withdraw from the New York City mayoral race following Cuomo's substantial 12-point loss in the Democratic primary. Sharpton emphasized that Cuomo should consider what is best for the city and allow the general election to be a head-to-head contest between Zohran Mamdani and Eric Adams. Sharpton conveyed these sentiments directly to Cuomo, with whom he spoke recently. Meanwhile, Mamdani has been gaining support from major unions including the United Federation of Teachers (UFT), 32BJ, and the Hotel Trades Council (HTC), with expectations that 1199 SEIU may either support Mamdani or remain neutral. Cuomo's backing from unions and businesses appears to be diminishing, raising questions about his viability in the upcoming general election. Cuomo has indicated he is receiving encouragement to continue his campaign and plans to make a decision in the coming days.
