Andrew Cuomo is leading the Democratic race for New York City mayor but has largely avoided direct engagement with his rivals. This changes with the upcoming primary debate on June 4, where he will face up to eight competitors amid criticisms of not participating in campaign events. Cuomo's campaign has seen setbacks due to accusations of violating campaign financing rules, resulting in a significant loss of matching funds. As the frontrunner, he is expected to face concentrated scrutiny from opponents eager to capitalize on his vulnerabilities.
The former governor has stumbled twice now, having been docked by the Campaign Finance Board, which believes Cuomo's team broke campaigning rules by illicitly coordinating with a billionaire-funded super PAC supporting him.
Cuomo has been noticeably absent from these events, prompting other candidates to unite against him, making him the primary target during the upcoming debate.
