Andrew Cuomo addresses a group of wealthy Democrats, discussing his potential mayoral run amid mounting challenges for New York City, particularly in response to a second Trump presidency. He asserts that Democrats have been retreating under pressure from political opponents, emphasizing a need for strength and resilience. Cuomo's combative style resonates with various voter groups, as evidenced by support from Representative Ritchie Torres, who champions his ability to navigate extremist politics effectively. Cuomo's entry into the race remains uncertain, yet he is currently leading in the polls.
As Mr. Cuomo saw it, the president was sticking his finger in the chests of prominent Democrats all too often now, and the Democrats were receding, problematically. I can tell you, he said, having dealt with him many, many times, that does not work.
The notion that Mr. Cuomo, in all his combative, masculine oomph, is the only one who can stand up to Donald Trump extends beyond the world of moneyed Upper East Side centrists.
Earlier this week, Representative Ritchie Torres, of the Bronx, said he would back Mr. Cuomo in the mayoral race — a race Mr. Cuomo has yet to enter but nevertheless leads in the polls.
