Cuomo now champions a $20 minimum wage for New York City if elected mayor—a stance that has left pundits both bemused and impressed.

Standing before a raucous crowd of various labor union members on Wednesday morning, Cuomo rolled out the campaign policy aimed at putting "more money in people's pockets" when it would take effect in 2027.
