Billy Joel Donates $50,000 to Support Andrew Cuomo's Mayoral Bid

Billy Joel has donated $50,000 to the 'Fix The City' Super PAC, which is supporting former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's campaign for mayor of New York City. The donation, made through the 'William M. Joel Revocable Trust,' underscores Joel's long-standing friendship with Cuomo, who is the godfather of his daughter. Cuomo's campaign, launched in March, aims to capitalize on the low approval ratings of the current mayor, Eric Adams. Despite facing significant controversies from his governorship, including multiple sexual harassment allegations, Cuomo has led in public polls since entering the race. The Super PAC has gathered over $4 million in total from various prominent donors, and plans to raise $15 million for the campaign. Critics have expressed dismay over celebrity endorsements, citing Cuomo's past failures during his tenure, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
