'The Daily Show' mocks Andrew Cuomo's strange final campaign move
On Tuesday night, “The Daily Show” host Jordan Klepper humorously commented on Andrew Cuomo’s last attempt to surpass New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, describing it as “bizarre.” Klepper compared Cuomo’s campaign move to O.J. Simpson’s infamous Ford Bronco chase.
“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 explained that Cuomo, having lost the primary to Mamdani, was now running as an independent. He joked about Cuomo's serious, policy-focused approach while Mamdani “is out there in da clubs.”
The show then aired a clip from Cuomo’s campaign labeled “The Good Luck Truck,” featuring Cuomo proudly presenting his white 1996 Ford Bronco, calling it “an oldie but a goodie.” He insisted the car symbolized his confidence in winning.
“A white, mid-’90s, Ford Bronco?” Klepper asked, as the studio audience roared with laughter. “Isn’t that O.J.’s car?”
His closing jab pointed out that Cuomo’s campaign message essentially boiled down to owning a car associated with one of America’s most infamous chases.
