Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo has declared his candidacy for mayor, stirring controversy due to his resignation over a sexual harassment investigation. Voters will weigh his candidacy against current Mayor Eric Adams’s own corruption charges. Though Cuomo leads in some polls, it's suggested that reflects more on name recognition than popularity. With a substantial super PAC backing him, challenges from progressive candidates like Brad Lander grow increasingly important. Cuomo's campaign narrative seems to echo some Trump-like rhetoric, possibly complicating his appeal to New York’s diverse electorate.
Cuomo's bullying managerial style often drew parallels with Trump, showcasing a 'thuggish paternalism' that disrespected opposition and women alike.
Despite Cuomo's popularity in polls, his candidacy reflects more on name recognition and political climate than his actual support among progressive voters.
