Former
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is
donating a sizable figure to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo's mayoral campaign in hopes the
city's voters don't elect a full-on socialist.
On
Friday, Bloomberg donated $5 million to the super PAC supporting Cuomo's
campaign, according to
Politico. It is the largest figure yet from a single donor and illustrates the
concern mainstream Democrats have over the rising poll numbers for socialist
challenger and Queens Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani. With the Democratic
primary only days away, the tightening race has seen New York's wealthiest
forced to choose a side.
A
Wednesday poll by Public Policy Polling showed Mamdani with a 4-percentage
point lead over Cuomo, 35% to 31%. Mamdani's stock has risen substantially
since receiving an endorsement from progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The Cuomo campaign has pushed back on the poll numbers saying it is from a
biased service paid by the Mamdani campaign.
Although
Bloomberg and Cuomo were rivals and did not see eye-to-eye during their
overlapping years as both mayor and governor respectively, their mutual concern
over the leftward drift of the Democratic Party has them now on a united front.
Mamdani's hard push to raise taxes on the richest New Yorker's and his open
antipathy toward Israel have given the two senior Democrats a common foe.
Current
New York City Mayor
Eric Adams, who will be running as an independent in November, has parted ways
with the Democrats over his positive relationship with President Donald Trump.
If Cuomo does not capture the Democrat nod, he will appear as an independent as
well.
Speaking
with Bloomberg Surveillance earlier in the week, Cuomo lamented that some in
his party feel they lost to Trump because they weren't "left enough,"
calling out Mamdani's policies of "dismantle the police, everything free,
and tax the rich."
"It
can't matter who gives you money. People who have institutional interests are
supporting me because institutional interests need a city that works. They want
a city with a future. What they're afraid of, if you elect a socialist, is
double the taxes on the wealthy. And the wealthy say, that's it, we're
gone," he said.
