Cuomo's Last-Minute Push Takes Him Into MAGA Territory
Nearly a year ago, Lisa Fields Lewis rallied in Pennsylvania for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
But on a recent Friday evening, Lewis, a mother of two and staunch Israel advocate, was in front of Bloomingdale’s stumping for Andrew Cuomo with more than a dozen other volunteers on the Upper East Side. The neighborhood came out strongly for him in the June mayoral primary election he lost to democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani.
Standing on a corner of Lexington Avenue, Lewis passed out Cuomo palm cards to passersby. An elderly Hispanic man in a MAGA cap asked to take some cards with him to The Bronx. Lewis bade him goodbye: “Vote for Cuomo — and make America great again!”
Instead of backing Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, Lewis threw her support behind Cuomo — a Democrat now running as an independent on the “Fight and Deliver” ballot line — because she thinks he still has the best chance to win the election.
