Exclusive | Andrew Cuomo tells donors he’s ‘not going anywhere’ as speculation swirls over another run

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has told donors that he's not leaving the state for Florida, despite speculation about his future. In a letter sent to his supporters, Cuomo expressed confidence in his ability to win re-election and maintain his position as governor.

Cuomo's comments come amid growing rumors that he may run for mayor of New York City or leave politics altogether. However, sources close to the former governor say he has no intention of leaving office anytime soon.

According to the letter, Cuomo is committed to seeing out his current term and continuing to serve the people of New York. He also expressed appreciation for the support of his donors and promised to work tirelessly on their behalf.

The move is seen as a bid to quiet speculation about his future and reassure supporters that he remains committed to public service. It comes ahead of potential moves by Cuomo's Democratic rivals in the state legislature to challenge him from within or push for an early special election.

Cuomo's decision not to rule out another run for office has sparked both excitement and skepticism among Democrats, who are still trying to regroup after his historic loss in 2020. Some have expressed concerns that he may try to muscle his way back into power, while others see it as a sign that the former governor is willing to listen to criticism and adapt to changing circumstances.

Regardless of Cuomo's intentions, one thing is clear: his decision not to leave New York has sent shockwaves through the state's Democratic establishment. As the party looks to rebuild and refocus its efforts in 2026, Cuomo's move will be closely watched by national Democrats and pundits alike.

In a sign that Cuomo remains committed to politics, sources close to him say he is already laying the groundwork for potential future bids. He has been meeting with key allies and strategists, and his team is reportedly exploring options for how to navigate the 2026 primary landscape.

For now, however, Cuomo is focused on finishing out his current term and delivering on his campaign promises. As one insider put it, "He's not going anywhere anytime soon."
 
idk why cuomo still thinkin he can win re-election lol 🤣 he got destroyed in 2020 and now people r thinkin he's gonna bounce back like nothing happened? nah man, that's just not how politics works. he needs to accept defeat and move on, not try to cling to power. plus, his approval ratings are still pretty low 📉. i dunno about him runnin for mayor tho, that might be a smart move, but we'll see how it plays out. one thing's 4 sure, cuomo's gonna have some challengers in 2026 and he needs to figure out how to deal with them 👊
 
Im not surprised cuomo wont leave ny its like he always said he wud serve till the end of his 3rd term 😂 the thing is tho people gotta stop speculating bout his future n focus on what really matters - the issues in ny state rn 🤔 we should be talkin bout healthcare reform, affordable housing nd education nflation r all still major problems here n itd be great if cuomo cud focus on solvin them instead of tryna prove hes not done w/ politics 😉
 
I'm surprised he's being so clear about not leaving NY... I think it's a good move for him to show the people he's still committed to serving them 💯. But at the same time, I wonder if some of his supporters are getting a little too excited thinking he'll make a comeback run... Cuomo's gotta prove himself all over again 😅. And can we talk about how weird it is that he's not even ruling out running for mayor? 🤔 NYC politics just got a whole lot more interesting!
 
I'm loving that Andrew Cuomo is keeping things real with his donors 🙌! I mean, can you imagine if politicians just cut ties with their supporters altogether? It would be super sketchy, right? 😂 Anyway, I think it's great that he's committing to finishing out his term and serving the people of New York. As a parent, I appreciate him being accountable and keeping promises 🤝. Now, let's see how this all plays out in 2026... will he be back in office or moving on to new adventures? 🤔 One thing for sure, it'll be interesting to watch! 👀
 
I don’t usually comment but... I think this whole thing about Andrew Cuomo might be a bit of a distraction 🙃 from the bigger picture. Like, what’s really going on with the state legislature and their plans for 2026? It feels like they're more worried about taking him down than actually addressing the issues that matter to New Yorkers 🤔. Anyway, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how it all plays out 💁‍♀️
