Cuomo's Rivals Want to Use One of His Supposed Strengths Against Him
Briefly

Ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo leads the mayoral race by nearly 20 points, but faces criticism regarding his handling of New York's pressing affordable-housing crisis. While Cuomo presents himself as experienced, rivals argue he has contributed to the problem, emphasizing an increase in homelessness during his political career. Candidates are focusing on housing issues, which they label as critical to the campaign. As they question his qualifications, rising opposition aims to leverage his flawed housing policies to sway voters in the upcoming primary.

He touts a 40-year career in tackling this crisis. And yet there is today more homelessness in New York than we have ever had before, showcasing the ineffectiveness of his long tenure.
