As a three-term governor of New York, Andrew M. Cuomo was once the most powerful man in the state. Now he finds himself in the unfamiliar role of an underdog.
After suffering a stunning loss in the Democratic mayoral primary to Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, Mr. Cuomo, 67, is running on a third-party line, trying to make up ground by interacting more with voters and attacking Mr. Mamdani as being too far to the left for New York City.
Ahead of the Nov. 4 election, the three leading candidates in the mayor’s race recently visited The New York Times for interviews. We have published excerpts from those interviews, and this is the final in the series.
The first, with Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee, can be found here; the second, with Mr. Mamdani, can be found here. The conversations have been edited for length and clarity. (Mayor Eric Adams, who is running for re-election as an independent and is fourth in the polls, declined to participate.)
We asked Mr. Cuomo 10 questions on subjects ranging from thorny policy issues to his favorite subway seat, with room for an occasional follow-up.
We’ve written before about how Mr. Cuomo lost the primary and about his complicated legacy in the city, and we previously asked him 10 questions during the primary campaign.
