'The Daily Show' Mocks Andrew Cuomo's Last Effort to Win
Jordan Klepper, host of 'The Daily Show', mocked Andrew Cuomo for trying to rally support with his Ford Bronco, which surprisingly resembles O.J. Simpson’s infamous vehicle, calling Cuomo’s effort “bizarre.”
Cuomo's Campaign and Statement
Cuomo, who lost the primary to Zohran Mamdani, now campaigns as an independent. In a campaign video, he described his 1996 Ford Bronco as “an oldie, but a goodie,” believing it will help him win.
Popular Reaction and Satire
“The only man with a chance of perhaps beating Mamdani is Andrew Cuomo, former New York governor, and mayoral candidate most likely to tell the Statue of Liberty she has a hell of an ass,” Klepper said. “Isn’t that O.J.’s car?” he asked, referring to the vehicle involved in the 1994 crime chase. “I own the only vehicle on the planet associated with murder,” he added.
Cuomo’s final campaign gimmick drew ridicule for its odd choice of vehicle and its resemblance to a notorious crime scene vehicle.
