I don’t know much about NYC political dynamics, but a quick survey of Wikipedia seems to indicate he didn’t. By Wikipedia’s summary Cuomo all but owned the ‘Somewhat Conservative’ and ‘Very Conservative’ vote, it just turns out that those groups only make up 18% of NYC.
Not an educated opinion, but my guess is his win had more to do with being more appealing to establishment / centrist liberals than Cuomo than any ability to swing conservatives to socialism.

Basically, he focused on needs for NYers.
-childcare, busing for kids, rent controls.
Also watch anything with him out and about. Like. He’s very genuine where most politicians have that “photo op smile.”
