Andrew Cuomo enters race for New York mayor as frontrunner but trailing baggage
Briefly

Abraham Rios, a 76-year-old veteran, feels positively towards Andrew Cuomo in the upcoming mayoral race. Living in Brooklyn, Rios desires increased police presence for safety. He believes Cuomo, despite his past controversies, is a strong leader capable of addressing city issues, having a significant political background. Cuomo's recognition has given him a lead over less-known candidates and Eric Adams, the incumbent. Political analysts suggest that past scandals won’t heavily influence voter decisions, as capability during unpredictable events is essential for leadership, though some remain wary of Cuomo's earlier governance style.

"Cuomo's long history in New York politics and name recognition has helped him storm to a lead in a candidate field featuring an incumbent Eric Adams..."
"The judging of the mayor is going to be determined not on incidents in their past but who we feel has got the best chance of leading the city when unpredictable things happen, like the pandemic..."
"Some voters don't like what they view as his heavy-handed approach as governor and don't think he is progressive enough."
