Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is considering a run for New York City mayor amid the indictment of current Mayor Eric Adams on federal charges including bribery and wire fraud. Cuomo, who resigned in 2021 over sexual harassment allegations, has been encouraged by allies and still has around $8 million in campaign funds. Despite his previous scandals, polling suggests Cuomo could be a frontrunner if Adams exits the race. Other potential candidates include City Councilman Joseph Borelli and NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, who have expressed interest depending on Adams' status. Adams has not indicated plans to resign, but if removed, a nonpartisan special election may be called.
