Cuomo, 67, plans a vigorous campaign, aiming to regain the trust of New Yorkers after resigning from the governorship in 2021 amidst sexual harassment allegations. He denies any wrongdoing.
Fierce Opposition
His candidacy has been met with swift and harsh criticism. The New York Post called him a "colossus of canards," while other candidates point to his failures as governor, including issues such as subway delays and homelessness. A left-leaning super PAC is actively working to derail his campaign, highlighting his past controversies. One particular point of criticism involves the handling of nursing homes during the pandemic.
A Pivotal Race
The New York City mayoral race, initially perceived as stagnant, is now in full swing, with Cuomo’s entry adding a layer of unpredictability. The upcoming months will be crucial in determining whether Cuomo can overcome his past and secure the Democratic nomination.
