New York Gov. Kathy Hochul declined to say whether former Gov. Andrew Cuomo was fit to serve as mayor of New York City on Monday during an interview.
The mayoral hopeful shot himself in the foot, so to speak, when he sought to run the National Rifle Association out of New York State.
Mr. Cuomo has twice had his political career written off and managed to come back. A look at some of the key moments in his career.
Andrew Cuomo announced on Saturday he is running to become mayor of New York City, more than three years after he resigned in disgrace as governor of New York after being accused of sexually harassing a number of women who worked for him and misleading the public about COVID-19 deaths.
By shouldering his way into the mayoral primary, Andrew Cuomo is betting that what New York voters want at City Hall is deep government experience, competent execution, and a mayor ready and willing to do battle with the Trump White House. His entry tests the political axiom that elections are about the future rather than the past.
Cuomo is staging a political comeback over three years after he resigned after a report by the state attorney general found he sexually harassed multiple female employees.
