The media WILL give the former New York Governor a hard time from his problems with numerous sexual harrasment actuations against him…
But?
Times ARE different….
We have a convicted criminal as a President, who IS ripping the merican Government appart….
The current Mayor, Eric Adams is STILL under Federal Indictment until or unless a Federal judge lest the charges go away…..Adams attempt to get his charges dropped and flirting with the Republicans have done him no favors in the ‘Big Apple’….
Andrew Cuomo just fits in with the politics of today ….
By the way?
Cuomo’s poll numbers HAVE jumped way ahead of Adams , who wasn’t that popular before he got indicted…..
“Today, it is necessary to launch a bold action plan to turn New York City around to save our city,” Mr. Cuomo said.
But his candidacy is also poised to push to the fore other, potentially divisive questions about the staying power of the #MeToo movement and the direction of the Democratic Party at a time when Mr. Trump is asserting power well beyond Washington.
Mr. Cuomo has spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars for legal fees fighting to clear his name after 11 sexual harassment accusations prompted his resignation in August 2021. To win, he will have to convince New Yorkers that he is innocent — or at least to look beyond his transgressions and a field of newer talent.
Mr. Cuomo did not directly address the claims against him on Saturday, but suggested they had changed him…
…
New York City is facing skyrocketing housing costs, unease about public safety and an unfolding leadership crisis that began with federal corruption charges against Mr. Adams in the fall and accelerated this winter amid accusations that he struck a corrupt deal with the Trump administration to drop them.
Mr. Cuomo joins a crowded field that includes talented young upstarts, seasoned Democratic officeholders and an embattled incumbent. At least two other prominent officials, City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and Jessica Tisch, the police commissioner, are being pushed to enter the race.
Public polling before Mr. Cuomo’s entrance consistently found him in the lead…
…
He could also face ongoing legal jeopardy from Washington, where the Justice Department under Mr. Trump has already shown itself willing to use the law to influence New York City’s mayor….
