For The Record

Even before Mayor de Blasio brought Governor Cuomo and leaders of the Working Families Party together May 27 to explain why he believed it was in the party’s best interest to endorse Mr. Cuomo’s re-election, it seemed unlikely it would make good on its threat to back another candidate in the Nov. 4 general election.

The left-leaning party that is heavily supported by the unions had made clear its unhappiness with the Governor on issues ranging from failure to get meaningful campaign-finance legislation passed to the corporate tax cuts in his most-recent budget and the hardball he has played with public-employee unions from the start of his term in office. They also were angered by his showing up Mr. de Blasio, after derailing his bid to pay for expanded all-day pre-kindergarten by taxing wealthier city residents, by appearing with charter-school advocates at a rally that served as a public rebuke of the Mayor’s denial of co-locations to three schools run by Eva Moskowitz’s Success Academy.
