Andrew Cuomo wants to be mayor of New York City again. He says the city is falling apart under current leaders. Crime is out of control, he claims, and families don’t feel safe. Cuomo says he’s the only one tough enough to fix it. But many remember his scandals.
Cuomo talks big about “law and order.” He says Mayor Eric Adams let criminals take over the streets. He promises to clean things up fast. But New Yorkers haven’t forgotten the nursing home deaths during COVID. Cuomo hid the truth about how many seniors died. Now he acts like it never happened.
The radical left ruined the city, Cuomo says. He blames soft policies for the migrant crisis and homeless camps. He claims he’ll cut through red tape to build affordable housing. But critics say he’s just making empty promises. His record as governor was full of broken deals and angry fights.
Cuomo faces 11 sexual harassment allegations. He denies them all. During a TV interview, he dodged questions about it. Stephen A. Smith pressed him hard, but Cuomo wouldn’t show remorse. He says voters care about results, not “old drama.” Many worry he’s not trustworthy.
Crime stats split the race. Mayor Adams says crime is down. Cuomo calls that a lie. He says stores still close early, and cops are handcuffed by bad laws. He vows to back the police and jail repeat offenders. Conservatives cheer this, but others see hypocrisy.
The nursing home scandal won’t go away. Cuomo forced homes to take sick patients, causing deaths. He covered it up for months. When asked, he gave long excuses but no apology. Families are still angry. They say he cares more about power than people.
The mayor’s race is getting ugly. Cuomo and Adams trade sharp insults. Cuomo says he doesn’t need dirty deals to win. He claims his experience trumps Adams’ failures. But polls show voters are tired of career politicians. They want fresh faces, not retreads.
New York needs strong leadership, Cuomo insists. He says only he can restore safety and pride. But his comeback feels desperate. After scandals and lies, many doubt he’s changed. The city deserves better than another smooth talker with a messy past.
