Andrew Cuomo's current campaign for mayor stands out as particularly cynical, marked by minimal public engagement and a heavy reliance on a super PAC for funding despite campaign finance controversies. Polls predict an easy victory for him, but the dynamics of being mayor differ significantly from his governorship, especially as mayors are directly accountable for city issues. Cuomo's past scandals have typically evaded scrutiny due to distance from the media, but as mayor, he will be unable to dodge crises and public discontent, placing him under a harsher spotlight.
Cuomo has run a deeply cynical campaign, avoiding direct voter engagement and relying on a super PAC while facing financial scrutiny over potential illegal coordination.
While polls show Cuomo is likely to win, the transition from governor to mayor poses significant challenges, especially due to the intensity of city media scrutiny.
Cuomo's past scandals like the Buffalo Billion highlight how governors can evade accountability, but mayors face a different level of public scrutiny regarding crises.
Unlike in Albany, where he could avoid reporters, as mayor, Cuomo will have to contend with the city's pressing issues directly tied to his administration.
