Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, embroiled in a sexual misconduct scandal that led to his resignation, paid a polling firm around $68,000 to assess his popularity, fueling speculations about a potential run for New York City mayor. Cuomo has been actively rebuilding his image through a podcast, a pro-Israel group, and engagements with key communities, aiming to secure support for a political comeback. Despite facing isolation post-resignation, Cuomo's strategic moves, including courting Black and Jewish voters and maintaining union ties, indicate serious consideration for entering the mayoral race, potentially challenging incumbent Mayor Eric Adams. While Cuomo's ultimate aspirations remain unclear, with suggestions of a presidential run, his recent actions signal a strong desire to reenter public life and influence the political landscape.
