Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has sparked speculation about a possible run for mayor of New York City, despite not officially announcing his candidacy. The speculation comes after a campaign-style video released by Cuomo showed him discussing safety concerns during a Valentine’s Day event in East Harlem.
The video was met with an endorsement from H. Carl McCall, the former rival and current NYS Comptroller, who urged Cuomo to run for mayor. McCall expressed his support for Cuomo, stating that he feels compelled to use his voice on behalf of New Yorkers.
Meanwhile, Republican Curtis Sliwa has again thrown his hat into the ring, citing a desire to address issues such as crime, housing insecurity, and homelessness. Sliwa, who lost the 2021 mayoral election to Eric Adams, aims to support those affected by these concerns.
Cuomo’s potential candidacy is seen as an interesting development in the upcoming mayoral election, with both Cuomo and Sliwa vying for the support of New Yorkers.
