Andrew Cuomo mounts comeback, launches campaign for NYC mayor years after resignation

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced his candidacy for New York City mayor on Saturday, marking his return to politics after a yearslong exile.
Cuomo's resignation from the governor's office in 2021, following a report by the state attorney general and accusations from at least 11 women, led to his downfall and political hiatus.
Cuomo launched his campaign with a video pitching his experience and moderate stances on issues like crime, aiming to address the city's perceived social and political turmoil.
An Emerson College poll showed Cuomo leading with 32 percent of the vote, while a Honan Strategy Group poll indicated 38 percent support compared to incumbent Eric Adams' 10 percent, though Adams faces federal corruption charges and unfavorable ratings from over 50 percent of New York voters.
Despite early polling numbers and a significant campaign war chest, Cuomo faces challenges due to the sexual harassment allegations and questions regarding his administration's handling of COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes, making his potential comeback uncertain.
