Ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo Wants to Be Mayor of New York City
Hotair ^ | 09/26/2024 | David Strom

Andrew Cuomo wants to stage a comeback. He has his eyes on Gracie Mansion.

You might think that would be a step down from being Governor of New York, but arguably it is a much better job with more actual power. If controlling money and power are your thing, few jobs are better than the Mayor of New York City.

Even before news broke of New York City Mayor Eric Adams' indictment, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was already signaling to allies that he was preparing to run for mayor, according to two people familiar with the matter. https://t.co/9aZi9MsSHO— Axios (@axios) September 26, 2024

A lot of people have been wondering about the goings-on in the Big Apple, with the indictment of Eric Adams and powerful city officials resigning. Why would the feds be going after Adams, and who does the Democrat establishment really want in the position? 

To answer the first question is a no-brainer:

And we just may have the answer to the second question: Andrew Cuomo, although there are probably competing factions. 

You may recall that Cuomo was forced out of his job as governor due to being a jerk with women, but that always struck me as a power play on the part of his enemies. Democrats are usually fine with people being degenerates, and Cuomo is much less of one than the parade of people who enjoyed going to Diddy's parties, which is a whole lot of them. 

Even before news broke of New York City Mayor Eric Adams' indictment, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was already signaling to allies that he was preparing to run for mayor, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Why it matters: From a star in Democratic politics to a disgraced governor pushed to resign amid a sexual harassment scandal, Cuomo's dramatic rise and fall could soon have another chapter.

People who hung out with Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein and admired Matt Lauer aren't saints, so Cuomo's sins were used as an excuse and weren't the reason he was tossed out. And it's pretty clear that Cuomo knows how this game is played and is calling in chits he built up to get back into power. 

Catch up quick: Cuomo announced in 2021 that he would resign as governor after an independent investigation found he sexually harassed multiple women.

I don't have any insights into who Cuomo really pissed off enough to warrant the hit job in 2021, but you can be sure that a scion of the Cuomo family has a lot of sway with powerful people and more than a little dirt on many of them. He's given many favors over the years, and in New York City favors are a currency that can purchase almost anything.

New York is still the center of the financial world; it has the most billionaires in the world, with over a hundred, and it is a far nicer place to live than Albany if you live to be around wealth and power. 

Don't be surprised if Cuomo's star rises as Letitia James' star falls. I wouldn't bet against a Cuomo victory--or against Cuomo having something to do with the scandals in New York City.

I just posted on a thread about Hillary the Hag calling us Deplorables again, that we may slipping into a new Groundhog Day but this time without Andie MacDowell.

So now the return of the hero Cuomo?

I guess if I see Obama hanging around the White House it will be a sure thing.

I thought Cuomo was pushed out because he killed off at least 9,000 residents of nursing homes by shoving COVID patients into them intentionally. The sexual escapades were an excuse so that official American could avoid dealing with the fact that some of the leadership class are mass murderers of the American people.

I wonder if he set up Mayor Adams. DOJ usually doesn’t go after high profile Democrats unless another Democrat wants them sidelined.

HE murdered thousands of innocent elderly people by cramming Covid infected patients into their nursing homes when hospital beds were available. He lied about the numbers - admits that - and thus stole federal funds that should rightfully have gone to other states. Why he sounds like a perfect New York City mayor!

He’s a mass murderer who should be executed and buried underneath the prison.

If Adams resigns or doesn't run, I'd take Cuomo in a second instead of the other legitimate communists who have said they are running for NYC Mayor.

I have hope that a sane person will run (one in particular) but I don't think it'll happen because sane people do not get elected in NYC.

I hope he seeks office and loses. Nothing hurts theses megalomaniacs more than losing.

Not sure if they wear hats (bad joke)
In NYC, the run for Mayor is next year, 2025... so there’s still time to buy hats and throw them in.
We also have to get rid of hochul in 2026.
