What It Looks Like As Andrew Cuomo Closes In on Mayoralty

NEW YORK — There is one dominant force in the race for New York City mayor. And it’s not the incumbent, Eric Adams, whose embrace of President Donald Trump doomed his already difficult shot at the Democratic primary.

It’s Andrew Cuomo.

The former governor of New York is emerging from the shadows of his past, four years after he resigned his governorship amid sexual harassment allegations he has vehemently denied.

Many Democrats in the five boroughs seem willing to forgive and forget. Cuomo has led every poll by wide margins — and he has more money behind his bid than anyone else.

I guess it could have been worse; Anthony Weiner COULD have run too

I remember his daily briefings re COVID. He gave me hope and for that I hold a sincere thanks.

I'll take Cuomo over Adams AND Curtis Sliwa, the former bloviating talk show host.

NO! We don't want Andrew Cuomo as mayor. Don't believe the hype and the hype machine that is the NYC media.

We have an actual opportunity to elect an actual Socialist as Mayor here: https://jacobin.com/2025/04/mamdani-new-york-mayoral-election

If you give a damn about AOC and Bernie, THIS is the man and the election you should be supporting.



Because we now have ranked voting in NYC, this the tack people should be taking:
