In a bid to make a political comeback, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced his candidacy for mayor of New York City. Cuomo, who resigned in 2021 amid a sexual harassment scandal, released a video pitch highlighting the city's challenges, including homelessness, graffiti, and violence.
His entry into the race sets up a potential clash with current Mayor Eric Adams, who faces scrutiny over corruption charges. Cuomo's competitors, including New York City Comptroller Brad Lander and mayoral candidate Scott Stringer, criticized his candidacy, calling him an 'agent of chaos.'
