NEW YORK — Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo missed a key deadline to mount a challenge against Gov. Kathy Hochul in this year’s New York Democratic primary.
Prospective candidates had until 5 p.m. on Thursday, April 7 to electronically file 15,000 signatures necessary to achieve a place on the Democratic primary ballot. A spokesperson for the former governor did not respond to a request for comment.
Cuomo, who resigned in August 2021 after an independent investigation overseen by New York Attorney General Letitia James found he’d sexually harassed nearly a dozen women, had for weeks hinted at the possibility of mounting an 11th hour challenge to Hochul.
