Cuomo's allies spurned after seeking a cross-endorsement deal with rival
ALBANY, New York — Andrew Cuomo’s campaign got spurned after seeking an alliance with one of his rivals in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor.
Two Cuomo allies told state Sen. Zellnor Myrie’s team they wanted a partnership ahead of the June primary, according to four people familiar with the outreach.
Myrie, who has been consistently critical of Cuomo, ultimately rejected the overtures.
The Cuomo allies sought a nonaggression pact in which the candidates wouldn’t attack each other and a cross-endorsement deal in which Cuomo and Myrie would ask their respective supporters to place their prospective allies’ names as secondary options on their ranked choice ballots.
