Andrew Cuomo is back in the spotlight, trying to save his political career by running for New York City mayor. But conservative voices aren’t buying his comeback story. They say his past is full of failures and scandals that make him unfit to lead. Cuomo’s time as governor ended in disgrace after he resigned over sexual harassment claims and a nursing home disaster during COVID. Now, he’s asking voters to trust him again.
haunts his campaign. His order forcing nursing homes to take COVID patients led to thousands of deaths. A House committee found he lied about his role in covering it up and sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department. During a hearing, Cuomo dodged questions and blamed others instead of apologizing to families. Conservatives say this shows he can’t be trusted.
calls Cuomo “terrible” and says his campaign lacks real ideas. Kelly points out Cuomo’s weak answers on the nursing home crisis and his history of putting politics over people. Critics argue Cuomo’s focus on his image – not solving problems – proves he’s out of touch with everyday New Yorkers struggling with crime and high costs.
won’t go away either. Eleven women accused Cuomo of misconduct, leading to his resignation. He denies wrongdoing but still faces public anger. Conservatives highlight this as part of a pattern of arrogance and poor judgment. They say New York needs leaders with integrity, not someone with a history of abuse allegations.
Mayor Eric Adams, Cuomo’s main rival, is fighting his own battles. Federal corruption charges and his close ties to Donald Trump have hurt his reputation. But conservatives argue Cuomo is even worse. They claim Adams at least tried to tackle crime, while Cuomo’s policies caused chaos. Adams himself mocked Cuomo’s campaign, saying New York needs saving from him.
push his message, but many New Yorkers aren’t buying it. His campaign events draw small crowds, and polls show low trust. Conservatives say this proves voters see through his empty promises. They point to his failed leadership during COVID as proof he’ll make the city’s problems worse, not better.
is clear: tie Cuomo to past failures and paint him as a symbol of Democratic mismanagement. With crime rising and costs soaring, they argue Cuomo’s return would mean more decline. They want voters to remember the nursing home deaths, the harassment claims, and his habit of blaming others when things go wrong.
In the end, Cuomo’s campaign looks like a desperate grab for power. Conservatives warn that New York can’t afford his toxic mix of arrogance and incompetence. They say the city needs fresh leaders who put people first – not disgraced politicians chasing redemption. Cuomo’s comeback bid is a reminder of everything wrong with politics-as-usual.
