Cuomo flatly denies recent phone call with Trump, as he walks back fighting stance against the prez

Mayoral hopeful Andrew Cuomo flatly denied Thursday that he recently had a phone call with Donald Trump, as he backpedaled his past fighting stance against the president.

Cuomo, when pressed about a New York Times report about the supposed conversation, called it “false.”

“I’ve never spoken to him about the mayor’s race,” he said.

The former governor, who was holding an event touting his affordability agenda, said the last time he called Trump was after the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt last July, when he left a message.

Cuomo also tried to play down another Times report that he told business bigwigs in a Wednesday meeting he wasn’t “personally” looking for a fight with Trump, even likening their long relationship to a “dysfunctional marriage.”

In a phone call with The Post, the three-term governor claimed that he hasn’t softened his stance, despite his Democratic primary pitch as the only candidate who could stand up to Trump.

“There is no tonal shift between the primary and the general. I’m not trying to get Republican votes; those are going to Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa,” Cuomo said.

“We never got into it during the primary,” he claimed.

But Cuomo’s campaign, during the primary race, even boasted in a digital ad that “Andrew Cuomo is the last person they want as mayor” – and pledged to fight Trump’s administration head-on.
