Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo's position at the top of the polls going into the event made him the favorite punching bag of the other candidates, but he came determined to settle some scores after months of attacks from his opponents.

New York's former governor said he is the last person the president wants to see as the next mayor of New York City.

Hymowitz’s husband, Gregg, is a billionaire hedge-fund manager who gave $100,000 to Eric Adams in 2021. This year, they are supporting Cuomo with a $150,000 donation. The billionaire Chicago options trader and co-founder of the investment-management firm Peak6 donated $250,000.

With three weeks to go until the New York City Democratic mayoral primary, leading contenders Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani have targets on their backs.
