In 2002, Andrew Cuomo faced backlash for running against a well-liked Black candidate, H. Carl McCall, leading to accusations of undermining McCall’s historic campaign.
Now, as Cuomo considers a run for mayor of New York City, he risks reopening racial tensions he has tried to avoid since the McCall incident.
Cuomo's supporters believe his past goodwill with New Yorkers, including African Americans, and Adams's current struggles might give him an advantage.
Opponents of Cuomo are preparing to leverage race in the upcoming campaign, suggesting challenges for Cuomo if he runs against the current mayor, Eric Adams.
