NEW YORK, NY — In case you missed it, former Governor and current New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo joined Kristen Welker on Meet the Press Now for a wide-ranging interview that laid out his vision for New York City’s future and addressed the pressing challenges facing both the city and the country.
In the candid, extended conversation, Cuomo discussed:
The State of the NYC Mayoral Race — Cuomo laid out what’s at stake for New Yorkers in this pivotal election and made the case for why he’s the leader uniquely prepared to address the city’s many overlapping crises.
His Path to Victory — Cuomo outlined how his experience, independence, and record of results set him apart in what is now essentially a two-man race against Zohran Mamdani and offered a roadmap to real progress for New Yorkers.
The Looming Government Shutdown — Cuomo backed Democratic leaders like Senator Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries for “doing the right thing” in the face of Republican brinkmanship, and highlighted how national dysfunction directly impacts NYC families.
How He’d Handle a Second Trump Presidency — With characteristic directness, Cuomo explained how he would stand up for New York and defend the city’s values – just as he forcefully and effectively did during Trump’s first term.
From public safety and housing to immigration and fiscal responsibility, Cuomo delivered a message of leadership, competence, and results, grounded in experience, focused on the future, and ready to deliver on day one.
