In the weeks since the primary, several prominent donors who had been supportive of Cuomo pledged their support to Adams in the general election, including billionaire hedge-fund managers Dan Loeb and Bill Ackman, both of whom have become so entwined with the Adams operation that they have helped vet campaign hires.

But one reply has more engagement than all of them, like double Cuomo's original post, and that's from Mamdani himself.

Mr. Cuomo, the former governor of New York, has vowed to run a more energetic campaign than he did in the mayoral primary, and aimed to demonstrate that on Tuesday.

Democratic mayoral primary winner and state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is barely leading the pack of candidates to potentially govern New York City in a new poll released Tuesday. The survey shows he is in a statistical tie with former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa after previously landing positive polls on the heels of his primary win.
