The closest I’ve seen is an interview With Tim Miller of The Bulwark and Jeffries. In that interview he presses him on that, where’s the endorsement? All he could bring himself to answer with was ‘I can tell you, the only person I have scheduled meetings with are with Mamdani’, so actually I’d say it’s pretty clear that DNC leadership isn’t backing Cuomo but also not doing much for Mamdani either, which is bad and absurd but not as bad actually as backing someone other than who the people chose in the primary.
You can’t simply take the lack of vocal support in this intermediate time in between as clear evidence that they back Cuomo, reality is far more nuanced. Your take could have more ground to stand on as we get closer to the actual election without anything different happening though.
The DNC doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt. No endorsement and no support from Democratic leaders is active opposition to his run. They burned up all their second chances years ago. Anyone paying attention knows who they are.
