Andrew Cuomo readying NYC mayoral campaign launch
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is preparing to launch a widely anticipated campaign for New York City mayor by early March, according to two people familiar with his plans who spoke on the condition of anonymity to address private deliberations.
His timeline for entering the June primary is materializing as Mayor Eric Adams faces growing calls to resign amid new revelations, which he denies, that his legal team privately brokered a deal for the Justice Department to dismiss federal corruption charges in exchange for a vow to enforce the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
The swirling controversy has contributed to what one person familiar with Cuomo’s plans described as a “palpable yearning” among business and civic leaders for the former governor to finally jump into the race.
On Thursday, the Staten Island Democratic Party preemptively backed Cuomo for mayor, calling on him to join a primary that features several left-wing challengers.
