Andrew Cuomo Poised to Announce New York City Mayoral Run

The former governor is expected to declare his candidacy as Mayor Eric Adams faces legal and political challenges, reshaping the crowded race.

Andrew Cuomo, who resigned as governor in 2021 following sexual harassment allegations, is preparing to announce his candidacy for New York City mayor, with a formal decision expected by the end of the week.
Current Mayor Eric Adams is grappling with federal corruption charges, though the Department of Justice has moved to dismiss the case, citing his cooperation with President Trump's immigration policies.
Polling shows Cuomo leading the Democratic primary field, with early endorsements from figures like former State Comptroller Carl McCall and labor groups such as the New York City District Council of Carpenters.
The primary race includes a crowded field of candidates, with voter concerns focusing on crime, affordable housing, and quality-of-life issues in the city.
Cuomo's potential bid marks a high-stakes political comeback, but he faces scrutiny over past controversies, including his handling of COVID-19 nursing home deaths and the allegations that led to his resignation.
