The upset victory of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over Rep. Joe Crowley in the 14th Congressional District is “apples and oranges” compared to the contest Governor Andrew Cuomo faces against Cynthia Nixon.

That’s according to Cuomo, who said he won’t be shifting any tactics or strategy over the next two months leading up to his primary.

“I think it’s apples and oranges,” Cuomo said. “This was a minority community largely in this district that is afraid, that is angry, that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez did a very good job connecting with. They should be angry and afraid and Ms. Ocasio-Cortez ran a very good campaign.”

Cuomo insisted a primary campaign for a House district is decided by local issues as well.

“I don’t think there is a common denominator among the races,” Cuomo said. “These races by definition tend to be local in nature. If there is any common denominator is an active Democratic Party, which is good for us in November.”

At the same time, Cuomo believes the Ocasio-Cortez victory could be a good thing for Democrats come November, given the enlivened base of the party, while also suggesting Crowley’s loss was something of an outlier.

“I think if there’s any common denominator among them, I think it’s an active Democratic Party,” he said. “Other than that, you have a whole range of outcomes. You have many long term incumbents who won.”

In 2014, Cuomo won Crowley’s district in his gubernatorial primary against Zephyr Teachout, 76 percent to 24 percent.
