Andrew Cuomo announced he’s running for New York City mayor in the upcoming election after months of speculation.
The former New York governor will take on incumbent Mayor Eric Adams in the Democratic primary.
“We know that today our New York City is in trouble,” Cuomo said in a 17-minute announcement video posted to social media.
“These conditions exist not as an act of God, but rather as an act of our political leaders, or more precisely, the lack of intelligent action by many of our political leaders,” he continued.
Before Cuomo entered the race, many polls showed him as an early favorite for New York City voters. A February poll by PIX11 News, Emerson College and The Hill showed Cuomo was the first choice for 33% of Democratic voters. Some 10% of voters said Adams was their first choice for mayor.
Cuomo served as New York governor from 2011 to 2021, when he resigned after an independent investigation found he had sexually harassed multiple women, including state employees. His resignation also came on the heels of criticism and investigations related to his handling of nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Yes, 12,473 elderly people died but that's not why he resigned, he stepped down because he got too handsy and kissy with a lot a women he worked with and random women he met on occassions.
