Andrew Cuomo was hit with a Community Note on X after posting a video that falsely implied Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa had endorsed progressive Democrat Zohran Mamdani. In his November 2 post, Cuomo repeated his campaign line that “a vote for Sliwa is a vote for Mamdani,” sharing footage of the two appearing together in March 2025.

The caption framed the event as political cooperation meant to hurt Cuomo’s candidacy. Community Notes users, however, labeled the post “misleading,” clarifying that the clip was taken from a memorial service for more than 15,000 elderly New Yorkers who died of COVID-19 in nursing homes.

The event, held on March 23, 2025, included several candidates who criticized Cuomo’s handling of the pandemic rather than expressing political support for one another.
