Cuomo’s Sudden Flip: Backing a $20 NYC Minimum Wage
HEAVILY 100% 0% Wednesday, May 28, 2025, 7:37 pm
In an unexpected political pivot during the mayoral race, former Gov. Cuomo now champions a $20 minimum wage for New York City if elected mayor—a stance that has left pundits both bemused and impressed. This new proposal, amid a sea of campaign promises, promises to reshape debates about wage policy in the city.
Former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the leading candidate for New York City mayor, proposed a minimum wage increase Wednesday.
Standing before a raucous crowd of various labor union members on Wednesday morning, Cuomo rolled out the campaign policy aimed at putting "more money in people's pockets" when it would take effect in 2027.
