Andrew Cuomo is running for mayor of New York City, he announced Saturday afternoon, joining a crowded field that includes incumbent Mayor Eric Adams. His chance of winning is dependent on how many dumb voters live in NYC - Adams is no charm.
Cuomo, who resigned as governor of New York in 2021 after being accused of sexual harassment, began to seriously consider entering the mayor's race last week, CBS News New York reported. He is expected to make a public appearance in Manhattan and rack up some important endorsements. Cuomo's supporters had filed paperwork to form a super PAC called "Fix the City," designed to raise $15 million to boost his anticipated campaign.
Cuomo entered the race with an under-the-radar appearance at the Caridad Restaurant in the Bronx and a video released on his website and social media platforms. "I want New York to not only survive, but for New York to thrive," he said in the video. In a direct address to New Yorkers, he reeled off a litany of problems facing the city – people dealing with mental illness and homelessness, empty storefronts, graffiti, the influx of migrants and random violence.
"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," Cuomo said. He reminded voters of his long history of public service that started when he worked for his father, former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, and included serving as attorney general.
