Campaign 2025
Cuomo Backers Burned $65 Per Vote, Including $13.3 Million From Bloomberg
A blizzard of outside spending on ads, including a spot that linked
Zohran Mamdani to 9/11,
failed to move voters and may have even backfired.

...Starting about three weeks ago, the big money spigot reopened. Real
estate moguls, venture capitalists and other wealthy New Yorkers
terrified by the prospect of a "socialist" City Hall began making
jaw-dropping donations to groups with names such as Fix the City, For
Our City and the apocalyptic Stop the Socialists. (Mamdani is a member
of the Democratic Socialists of America.)
Fix the City ultimately spent the most: $18 million to support Cuomo
and $11 million to oppose Mamdani. That included a $12.7 million
spending spree over the last two weeks on videos, texts and robocalls
highlighting Mamdani's past (and repeated) calls to "defund the police"
during the 2020 protests that erupted in response to the Minneapolis
police murder of George Floyd. (Mamdani has since amended his position,
stating that the NYPD plays an important role in public safety.)
But the ad that attracted the most blowback started popping up just
last week. It was sponsored by For Our City, a group backed by major
real estate developers and other wealthy New Yorkers, including
Bloomberg, who contributed $3.5 million. (The former mayor also donated
$9.8 million to Fix the City).
For Our City raised $8.1 million and spent $7.1 million, including
$650,000 on a 15-second video ad that ran on Sunday before the election
that set off alarm bells from both Cuomo and Mamdani supporters.
The ad opened with an image of a smiling Mamdani with the Twin Towers
burning in the background. It then went on to highlight Mamdani's
hobnobbing with Hasan Piker, a left-leaning "influencer," highlighting
a clip of Piker stating in a past episode of his hugely popular podcast
that America "deserved 9/11."
Critics warned that attack ads like the Piker spot reject the notion of
engaging in a nuanced, reasoned conversation over differences of policy
and opinion, and instead fan the flames of hatred.
Veteran political consultant Hank Sheinkopf, who was hired by Save NYC,
a separate anti-Mamdani independent group run by former Republican Lt.
Gov. Betsy McCaughey, criticized the Twin Towers ad, stating that it
"was probably hurtful to the cause because Mamdani was 9 years old when
that happened. And it was seen as Islamophobic."
