Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is attempting a political comeback by running for New York City mayor, leveraging an investigation by Trump’s Department of Justice into his pandemic response as a rallying point. Despite past scandals and his resignation amid sexual harassment allegations, Cuomo has raised significant campaign funds and garnered support from former critics. His main opposition comes from candidates further left, but Cuomo’s focus on infrastructure achievements and portraying himself as a victim of political attacks may resonate with voters seeking strong leadership.
