Fresh off losing New York’s Democratic primary for mayor to Zohran Mamdani, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday ramped up his efforts to push the incumbent mayor, Eric Adams, out of the race.

Indian-origin New York politician Zohran Mamdani, who is running for the post of NYC mayor, has been seen spending time with people of different cultures and nationalities. He is focusing on food, films and showcasing his roots in an attempt to build a connect during campaigning.

Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assemblyman representing northwest Queens, last month shocked the political establishment by trouncing the longtime front-runner, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, whose name recognition, experience and support of billionaires and corporations, made him the favorite.
