“I am not saying this is going to be easy. It won’t be easy, but I know we can turn the city around, and I believe I can help,” he said. The Democrat is expected to mount a formidable campaign, despite entering the race deeply wounded by the scandal that forced his resignation as governor in 2021. He takes on a large field of primary opponents with low name recognition plus an incumbent, Mayor Eric Adams, who – for now – remains under indictment on federal corruption charges and under scrutiny from critics who question his independence from Trump.
Cuomo brings fundraising prowess, a record of accomplishments over three terms as governor and potential support among moderate voters who helped propel Adams to office. Yet it is unclear whether voters are willing to give Cuomo another chance following his remarkable downfall, when he went from being hailed for his leadership during the onslaught of COVID-19 to being castigated for his behavior with women and questioned about his pandemic response. In his campaign video, Cuomo acknowledged past “mistakes” but did not directly address the harassment allegations.
“Did I always do everything right in my years of government service? Of course not,” he said. “Would I do some things differently knowing what I know now – certainly. Did I make mistakes, some painfully? Definitely, and I believe I learned from them and that I am a better person for it, and I hope to show that every day.” Adams, caught on a city street by a Politico reporter Saturday, welcomed Cuomo to the race. “Come one, come all. Everybody should put their position forward,” Adams said. “I have a great record to run on. We look forward to the campaign.”
