Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is now running for Mayor of New York City. He put a campaign video out over the weekend in making the announcement. Without mentioning Mayor Adams directly, Cuomo in a campaign video said the city is out of control and in crisis because of pollical leaders.
“We need a significant presence of real police, not publicity stunts with short term efforts, a permanent increase by the city and state.”
Cuomo painted himself as an experienced leader. He resigned as governor in 2021 following sexual misconduct allegations but says he’s learned from his mistakes.
“But I promise you this, I know what needs to be done and I know how to do it.”
Cuomo has a lead in the polls among a large number of Democrats running for mayor.
