Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's potential bid for mayor is gaining momentum, particularly with backing from former Comptroller Carl McCall. In an open letter, McCall emphasized the need for a mayor with loyalty to New York, criticizing the current administration's independence following recent legal developments. Cuomo has expressed gratitude for McCall's support, which is significant given McCall's history as the first Black elected to statewide office. The growing support for Cuomo poses a challenge for incumbent Mayor Eric Adams in upcoming elections.
New York cannot be represented by someone whose loyalty to the city is compromised - we deserve a Mayor of New York to be for New York.
I have never publicly urged a candidate to run for office, but I have never before felt it so necessary to use my voice.
Cuomo's sentiments are both humbling and deeply meaningful.
Adams' biggest obstacle to winning a second term is Cuomo, a fellow moderate Democrat who is the leader in recent polls.
