Gov. Cuomo on Sunday is endorsing Harlem Rep. Charles Rangel's bid for re-election to a 23rd term, The Post has learned.
Cuomo's backing is an eleventh-hour boost to Rangel, who is locked in a fierce Democratic primary challenge against rival state Sen. Adriano Espaillat.
"Charlie Rangel has fought for the people of his district for over 40 years. His experience, seniority, and steadfast commitment to improving the lives of New Yorkers continue to make him a critical voice in standing up to the Tea Party extremism that is threatening to take over Washington," Cuomo said in a statement. "Charlie has dedicated his life to being a
strong, progressive leader consistently delivering for his constituents. Today, I proudly endorse Charlie Rangel for another term in Congress."
The primary is on Tuesday.
The most recent Siena College survey has Rangel ahead by 13 points, 47 percent to 33 percent.
But political insiders — even Rangel allies — believe the race is tighter. Some key Democratic Party leaders and unions abandoned Rangel to support Espaillat this time around.
In their primary battle two years ago, Rangel squeaked by Espaillat by about 1,000 votes in a near upset.
The newly-drawn congressional district takes in parts of heavily Hispanic sections of The Bronx as well as northern Manhattan.
