After Andrew Cuomo announced he’s running for mayor as an independent candidate, the former governor spoke with NY1’s Errol Louis about what went wrong with his Democratic primary campaign while also heavily criticizing the man who beat him, Zohran Mamdani.

Cuomo also reflected on past initiatives during his tenure as HUD secretary under Bill Clinton, emphasizing the cultural impact of home ownership and the challenges of affordable housing in New York City. He advocated for massive construction efforts, city control of the subways and ways to tackle homelessness.
