Is it Andrew Cuomo’s time to shine?The former governor, who resigned in disgrace in 2021, is strongly considering a run for mayor, now that Eric Adams has been indicted. If Adams resigns, a special election will be triggered, and many think Cuomo is sure to enter it. This might be his best opportunity for redemption.He should not be underestimated. He enjoys universal name recognition in New York City and lingering goodwill from his Covid-era press conferences. As the governor for more than a decade, he can go to voters and promise he’ll know how to run a municipal government that has apparently sunk deep into the muck of corruption.The real estate and business elites who help to decide the course of elections could warm to Cuomo, along with certain labor unions. If Cuomo’s main opponent is the progressive Jumaane Williams, who in this scenario would be the interim acting mayor, the business class could coalesce behind the ex-governor. So could some of the working class Black and Latino voters who supported him throughout his gubernatorial campaigns.A special election would be a three-month sprint, favoring a candidate like Cuomo. His opposition would have much less time to make themselves known and attack him simultaneously. The electorate would not be limited to Democrats, which could theoretically benefit him with more moderates casting votes.Does all of this add up to a Cuomo victory? That’s far less clear. He’d be a front-runner, but not a vaunted one who could... Continue reading at 'Crains New York'
