Cuomo enters New York City mayoral race despite controversies

Andrew Cuomo has entered the New York City mayoral race, presenting himself as a tough-on-crime candidate. This marks a significant shift as he seeks to regain political influence despite his controversial past as governor. Cuomo's previous policies, including bail reform and the Discovery for Justice Reform Act, have been criticized for contributing to rising crime rates. His opponents are concerned about his growing support among key Democratic groups and his ability to raise campaign funds. Cuomo's history includes scandals related to his handling of COVID-19 and allegations of misconduct. His opponents aim to remind voters of these issues to counter his current political momentum.
