Ringing Endorsement
Andrew Cuomo picked up some last-minute endorsements ahead of Tuesday’s New York mayoral race, finding support from President Trump, Elon Musk, George Santos and Stephen Miller, among other Republicans. Or, as Stephen Colbert put it, “everyone New Yorkers love.”
“Cuomo has been polling behind in the race, but yesterday, he picked up a big endorsement, when Trump posted: ‘Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice’ — which, incidentally, was Andrew Cuomo’s go-to pickup line.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Cuomo has also been endorsed by Subway Seat Puddle, your neighbor with the trumpet, and angry man in the park who wants you to know that you’ll burn in hell and/or do you have a boyfriend?” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Former governor Andrew Cuomo was trailing the newcomer, Zohran Mamdani, by about 16 points. But Cuomo picked up a last-minute endorsement from Trump and Elon Musk, so now he’s trailing by 30 points.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Right before the election, Elon Musk endorsed Andrew Cuomo for mayor — or, as Cuomo put it, ‘Not helping.’” — JIMMY FALLON
“Meanwhile, President Trump also endorsed Andrew Cuomo, and Cuomo was, like, ‘OK, that’s enough endorsements, OK?’” — JIMMY FALLON
The Punchiest Punchlines (In the Club Edition)
“New York City elected a new mayor today. Eric Adams will go back to his first job: insisting he’s on the list.” — SETH MEYERS
“On Sunday, Mamdani went to see the Knicks from up in the rafters, a month after Cuomo sat courtside. Not to be outdone, Curtis Sliwa sat under the Triborough Bridge to referee a pickup boxing match between two police horses.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“But clearly, Zohran has been riding high the last few days of the campaign, clubbing all weekend, swinging by a Knicks game, and he even appeared on the kiss cam with Karl Marx.” — JORDAN KLEPPER
“Goddamn. Is he running a campaign or a bachelor party?” — JORDAN KLEPPER, referring to video of Mamdani dancing in a club
“He was at the ‘clurb’? We haven’t seen a New York mayor do that since every moment of Eric Adams’ life.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Be careful, Zohran. You party this hard, you’re going to catch feelings for capitalism. Free school lunches sound nice until you get used to that bottle-service life.” — JORDAN KLEPPER, referring to Mamdani’s democratic socialist affiliation
