Serial killer attempts comeback: Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo enters race for NYC mayor | 1 March 2025 | Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo has finally announced his bid for City Hall -- a late entry that threatens to eclipse a crowded Democratic primary and deal a diminished incumbent Mayor Eric Adams a political death blow. Cuomo enters the race already widely considered the front-runner after a months-long shadow campaign, in which he coyly avoided officially announcing his comeback while ruthlessly capitalizing behind the scenes on Adams’ scandal-plagued first term. But he will have to fend off a slate of city Democrats looking to dethrone the former state leader by attacking him over the sexual harassment claims that pushed him out of office. They will also slam Cuomo during the primary for lying about the handling of nursing homes during the COVID pandemic that led to hundreds [thousands] of deaths, signing the controversial bail reforms into laws and paving the way for congestion pricing.
