Former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo is setting up a comeback try for NYC mayor.
Andrew Cuomo has announced he is running for New York City mayor in an apparent effort to stage a political comeback over three years after he resigned as governor of the state of New York over sexual harassment allegations.
“Our city is in crisis. That’s why I am running to be Mayor of New York City,” Cuomo wrote Sunday on X, formerly called Twitter, while sharing his announcement video. “We need government to work. We need effective leadership.”
Cuomo stepped down in August 2021 during his third term in office after a report by New York Attorney General Letitia James found that he had sexually harassed multiple female employees, many of whom were young, and created a “hostile work environment for women,” upping the pressure on him to hand in his resignation. Cuomo has continued to deny any wrongdoing.

Cuomo’s candidacy appeared to gain traction even before his campaign announcement, recent opinion polls have shown.
