D’Amato made the announcement during his weekly news conference with several New York radio stations.
“Let me be clear on that. . . . I am not going to be a candidate for governor if Gov. (Mario) Cuomo runs and I will not be a candidate if Gov. Cuomo does not run,” D’Amato said. “I will not be a candidate.”
D’Amato said he prefers the challenge of the Senate.
