On Sunday, nearly all candidates vying for New York City's mayoralty publicly condemned former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, particularly regarding his controversial decision to mandate nursing homes to readmit Covid-positive patients. This directive is believed to have led to a significant number of deaths among vulnerable residents. The event marked the fifth anniversary of the order and was organized by families seeking accountability from Cuomo, who resigned amid scandals and continually defends his policies. Candidates from varied political backgrounds emphasized the need for Cuomo to take responsibility, with calls for an apology resonating across the board.
Nearly all the men and women running to be New York City's next mayor came together on Sunday to urge voters not to support their shared opponent, former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, amid scrutiny of his pandemic response.
Brad Lander, the city comptroller running in the Democratic primary, emphasized that this was not about partisan politics but about accountability, stating it is not too much to ask Cuomo to meet with families of nursing home victims.
