Disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner is attempting to revive his political career by running for a City Council seat in Manhattan, following his release from prison after a scandal involving explicit online messages. Once shunned after his downfall, Weiner found minor redemption as a weekend radio host at WABC-AM. Initially denying any intention to re-enter politics, he now contests for public office despite his notorious past, reflecting on his struggle for relevance and the limitations of his political ambitions post-incarceration.
By the time he got out of jail WABC-AM had become NY's No. 1 news radio station, and Weiner was initially resistant to re-entering politics.
With no viable career path after prison, Weiner is now running for City Council, despite past scandals overshadowing his candidacy.
