Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who resigned four years ago amidst allegations of sexual harassment, has announced his campaign to run for mayor of New York City. In his campaign launch video, Cuomo highlighted his accomplishments as governor and emphasized the need for strong leadership in the city. His announcement comes at a time when current Mayor Eric Adams faces corruption charges and other Democratic candidates are also vying for the office.
Cuomo’s tenure as governor was marked by high approval ratings, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, he faced bipartisan calls to resign following allegations of sexual harassment by multiple women, including state employees. In his resignation speech, Cuomo acknowledged making mistakes and expressed a desire to learn from them.
Despite his past controversies, Cuomo received the endorsement of Rep. Ritchie Torres, who praised his competence and courage to govern the city. Cuomo’s campaign launch has been met with criticism from some opponents, including former Comptroller Scott Stringer, who accused Cuomo of neglecting New York City’s needs during his time as governor.
As the primary election approaches in June, Cuomo enters a crowded field of Democratic candidates seeking to challenge Mayor Adams. His campaign will likely focus on his experience and ability to lead the city through challenging times, despite his previous scandals and controversies.
