Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is making a surprise return to politics, announcing his candidacy for mayor of New York City. Cuomo’s previous stint as governor ended in August 2021, following multiple sexual harassment allegations that he denied. However, three years on, he has thrown his hat into the ring again, topping polls in the process.
Cuomo’s decision comes amid a tumultuous period in American politics, with many questioning whether a figure like him can truly regain public trust. Nevertheless, the 60-year-old politician appears to be gaining momentum, sparking concerns about the potential impact on his political comeback.
