Andrew Cuomo Meeting Al Sharpton in the middle of the New York mayor campaign

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who presents himself for the mayor of New York, met the Reverend Al Sharpton on Friday.

Cuomo shared a photo of Reunion in a New York restaurant on his social networks, writing: “Great breakfast catching up on my old friend, @real_sharpton”.

Sharpton also shared the photo on his social networks, saying that they had a “breakfast meeting” and that the Democratic candidate and the leading front for the mayor, Zohran Mamdani – who identifies himself as a democratic socialist – would be on his program MSNBC “Politicsnation” this weekend.

Cuomo probably contacted Sharpton politically influential for approval, reported the New York Post, saying that the former governor – who had resigned in 2021 in the midst of allegations of sexual misconduct – asked the activist for civil rights to “have an open mind” on the race.

“I am very impressed by Mamdani, but I have known Andrew for 40 years, returning in the 80s with his father,” Sharpton told post, referring to former governor Mario Cuomo.

The meeting comes while the current Democrat mayor Eric Adams, who abandoned the Democratic primary and presents himself as an independence, would plan to abandon the race for a potential job offer in the Trump administration. Adams denied having planned to give up.

Sharpton had already called Cuomo to abandon the race after Mamdani beat him in the Democratic primary.

“I think, in the best interest of Andrew Cuomo’s inheritance, that he should let them have the headache,” he said, referring to Mamdani and Adams during an interview on MSNBC in July. “He can approve one or the other, and let them fight on what is best for New York.”

Cuomo spokesperson Rich Azzopardi told post: “Governor Cuomo and Reverend Sharpton have stood side by side for decades, fighting for justice and progress. They come together from time to time to discuss essential issues for the city, state and nation. The meeting of today was both productive and positive.”
