Former Democrat New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has officially entered the race for New York City mayor, signaling a bold attempt at a political comeback. After resigning in 2021 amid sexual harassment allegations and a tarnished public image, Cuomo is now seeking to reclaim his political influence. With his announcement, the former governor aims to bring his experience in state leadership to the city’s top job. However, his bid will likely face significant opposition as critics and supporters weigh his controversial legacy against his promises for the city's future.
On Saturday, Cuomo announced his mayoral bid in a video post on X. He said "the greatest city in the world" is facing many challenges, including "random violence" and ongoing homelessness.
“The city just feels threatening, out of control,” Cuomo said. “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. I know we can turn the city around, and I believe I can help, and that is why I announced my candidacy today for mayor of New York City.”
Cuomo was accused of sexually harassing eleven women— nine of whom were past or present state employees. He has continued to deny the allegations.
He briefly addressed the allegation in the video, stating that he would handle things differently if given another opportunity.
“Did I always do everything right in my years of government service? Of course not. Would I do some things differently knowing what I know now? Certainly. Did I make mistakes? Some painfully. Definitely. And I believe I learned from them and that I am a better person for. And I hope to show you that every day,” he said.
He is a murderous tyrant.
If I remember correctly the Mercy boat Trump sent remained unused.
So all that groping women is forgotten and forgiven?
The scum also rises. (Hunter S. Thompson, 1974 book subtitle).
Remember Mayor Barry of Washington.
Summary:
Known by some for alcohol use excesses (NYT later confirmed) he was rumored to be a drug user.
Finally he was shown on video lighting and smoking cocaine. The arrest and subsequent trial and conviction for cocaine offenses precluded Barry from seeking re-election, and he served six months in a federal prison.
After his release, he was elected to the Council of the District of Columbia in 1992.
He was elected again as mayor in 1994, serving from 1995 to 1999.
Voters know a hero when they see one.
They ran him out on sex charges but he did not get the message…. Guess the Killer’s back!
NYC has RCV.
Just like Maine.
Just like Alaska.
For the same reason.
It will be interesting to see what NY City RATS support this POS. He must be pretty desperate to get back into office to even consider running for NY Mayor.
“..NEVER forget how he packed nursing homes with COVID patients.
He is a murderous tyrant....”
EXACTLY!!!!
He and the other four governors involed in that episode shouldn’t even be breathing God’s good air right now.
They should have been arrested, tried, sentenced and executed by hanging for mass murder, crimes against humanity, crimes against the elderly and a host of others. But no, because they ALL have the big “D” after their names which gives em a free pass on everything. But hey, IF NYC wants this evil SOB, they can have him....
“He is a murderous tyrant.“
And his replacement is just as bad
Sadly the voters may forget- I hope for the sake of NY that they don’t forget- and he loses massively- cementing his legacy as one of a disgraced murderous gov-
Sadly, u hope for NY....
He is not formerly disgraced; he remains disgraced. He is the “Former Gov”.
The headline makes it sounds as if he is no longer the guy who killed a bunch of old people.
This man infected rest homes with covid and killed hundreds of grandparents and parents.
He is a murderous tyrant and should be in prison.
The NYC rats will vote for him by a landslide. I think I heard he’s already 30-sometime points ahead of the other rats running.
NY City dummies always did like graft.
He’ll be elected.
The viters in NYC are just as stupid as the voters in San Francisco.
He will win.
In NYC such an opinion might get him elected.
“Nips” Cuomo is back! Heads up ladies.
