Andrew Cuomo: 我认为现在纽约市的主要矛盾存在于民主党内部，而非传统的共和党与民主党之争。现在的进步主义已经超越了传统自由主义的范畴，变得不切实际且适得其反。我认为民主党需要务实和常识，关注民生问题，才能重新获得人民的支持。我们不能忽视公共安全、经济发展和生活质量，这些才是选民真正关心的问题。我年轻的时候是个极端的自由主义者，但我现在认为，我们需要找到一个平衡点，既要关注社会公正，也要确保城市的繁荣和安全。

Shownotes Transcript

Andrew Cuomo, the front-runner in New York’s Democratic mayoral primary, said raising taxes on the city’s wealthiest residents would cause an exodus to states like Florida and Texas. “You elect a socialist who tries to give everything away free, doubles the taxes on the wealthy, and the wealthy say, ‘That’s it I’m gone,”’ Cuomo, the former governor of New York, said, speaking with Bloomberg's Tom Keene and Paul Sweeney.

With about two weeks remaining until the June 24 Democratic primary, multiple polls show Cuomo as the likely winner, beating a crowded field of at least eight other serious candidates. Winning the New York City mayor’s race would crown a remarkable comeback run for Cuomo, 67, the Queens-born scion of a Democratic political dynasty that now spans two centuries. He served nearly three terms in Albany as governor before resigning in August 2021 amid a string of allegations of sexual harassment. Cuomo denies the allegations.
