Cuomo expected to run for NYC mayor, allies form super PAC

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has officially announced his candidacy for New York City mayor, aiming for a political comeback after resigning in 2021 amid scandals. Cuomo, who denies the allegations against him, enters a crowded Democratic primary against incumbent Eric Adams and several other challengers. His campaign is backed by a newly formed super PAC, Fix the City, which aims to raise $15 million. Cuomo, considered a frontrunner by many public polls and political insiders, has received endorsements from influential figures such as Congressman Ritchie Torres. The primary election is scheduled for June 24, with early voting starting on June 14. Despite the controversies in his past, Cuomo's name recognition and political experience are seen as significant assets in the race.
