Cuomo Tells Brooklyn Democrats: ‘Primaries Are Hard’ Governor Makes Appearance at Seddio Breakfast at Junior’s
Fresh off his big win over actress Cynthia Nixon in the Democratic primary, Gov. Andrew Cuomo told Brooklyn elected officials and activists that primaries are always difficult because of the divisions they unearth within a political party, but he added that now it’s time for Democrats to unite and work toward victory in the Nov. 6 election.
“Primaries are hard. It is hard to fight within the family,” Cuomo told scores of politicians and Democratic Party district leaders at a post-primary breakfast at the world-famous Junior’s restaurant in downtown Brooklyn hosted by Brooklyn Democratic Party Chairperson Frank Seddio on Monday morning.
Cuomo beat Nixon, a first-time candidate, by more than 30 percentage points in the Democratic primary on Sept. 13.
