It's the Brian Larry Show on WNYC. Good morning, everyone. We'll begin today by continuing

with our round of interviews with the New York City mayoral candidates. Today, it's former governor, New York State Attorney General, and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

Andrew Cuomo, you all know he came in second in the Democratic primary to Queen's Assembly members,

Iran Mamdani.

Mr. Cuomo is now running on an independent line called the Fight and Deliver Party.

You probably also know he has embraced the idea that the four candidates other than

Mamdani agree to endorse the leader among them in September.

As we've been doing in this round, we'll have about a 20-minute interview conversation

followed by analysis of the segment and the race overall.

Today with New York Times, Metro political reporter Jeff Mays, and with you.

Mr. Cuomo, thanks for coming on again.

if at all? Well, there's only one strategy dealing with President Trump. And I know because I've

gone multiple rounds with President Trump, I was governor when he was president the first time,

and we went through COVID, which was one of the most intense situations.
