Andrew Cuomo isn't giving up yet on his political comeback.

The former governor plans to mount a competitive campaign in the general election for mayor of New York City after his surprise loss in the Democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani.

"I am in it to win it," Cuomo said in a campaign video released Monday.

Cuomo's name will appear on the general election ballot under the independent "Fight and Deliver" party he created as a backup plan in the event he lost the primary.

The general election will be a rematch between Cuomo and Mamdani and will also feature Mayor Eric Adams, who is running as an independent. Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee, and independent Jim Walden will also be on the ballot.

Cuomo will compete with Adams for moderate voters disaffected by the Democratic nomination of Mamdani, a democratic socialist that campaigned on freezing the rents of rent-stabilized apartments and providing free bus service.

Updates to follow as news develops.
