Overview

• On Monday’s episode of ABC’s The View, Andrew Cuomo said he learned a painful lesson from the scandal and will not kiss people on the cheek unless they initiate it.
• Cuomo denied wrongdoing and described the investigations as politically motivated, while saying the experience made him more cautious about jokes and comments.
• A 2024 Department of Justice report concluded Cuomo and his staff created a sexually hostile work environment impacting at least 13 female employees, echoing the New York attorney general’s 2021 findings.
• Criminal charges tied to the allegations were dropped or dismissed in early 2022 after prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence to proceed.
• Cuomo is running for New York City mayor as an independent after losing the Democratic primary to Zohran Mamdani, and a late-September Beacon/Shaw poll shows him trailing by 18 points as Curtis Sliwa remains the Republican nominee and Eric Adams has exited the race.
