Former N.Y. Gov. Paterson endorses Cuomo after initially backing Adams in NYC mayoral race

[RandySF]

Former Gov. David Paterson endorsed Andrew Cuomo’s campaign for mayor on Tuesday, putting himself back in the former governor’s camp after initially backing Mayor Adams in the general election.

Paterson, who had backed Cuomo in the Democratic primary, praised Cuomo at a joint appearance with the candidate and Adams at a Bronx senior center.

“No one’s going to get a free ride, no matter what some people are promising, but there is a great opportunity for this city if we elect this gentlemen right now, next Tuesday,” Paterson said, in a dig at Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani’s affordability agenda.

“For all of you who have already voted, thank you for that, we hope we were supported, for those of you who have not, we got about seven days before we elect our next mayor. I propose that next mayor is standing right next to me.”

1. Who the hell gives a shit

who Patterson endorses?

2. Agree!!! He was a colossal FAILURE as gov.

At first I thought he might be OK. It didn’t take long to find out how wrong I was. The rest of NY voters were right there with me. His “endorsement” of Cuomo is proof of his idiocy - and Cuomo’s desperation!

3. Word!

That’s a pretty insignificant endorsement, in my opinion.
