Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who resigned in 2021 amid multiple sexual harassment allegations, has announced his candidacy for Mayor of New York City. In his campaign launch, Cuomo highlighted his accomplishments as governor and emphasized the need for bold action to turn the city around. His entry into the race comes as current Mayor Eric Adams faces a corruption scandal and several other Democratic candidates are challenging his path to a second term.
Cuomo’s campaign launch video addressed his past mistakes and lessons learned but focused on his vision for the city’s future. Despite the controversy surrounding his resignation, Cuomo has already received the endorsement of Rep. Ritchie Torres, who praised his competence and ability to govern.
During his first campaign event at a Dominican restaurant in the Bronx, Cuomo received the endorsement of New York Assembly Member Yudelka Tapia, who praised his past efforts to pass legislation benefiting the community. Cuomo’s entry into the mayoral race adds another dynamic to the already crowded field of Democratic candidates vying for the position. As he seeks to rehabilitate his reputation and present himself as a viable option for mayor, Cuomo will face scrutiny and criticism from opponents who highlight his past shortcomings as governor.
