Cuomo to be next mayor of NYC

New Yorkers haven't been the brightest people on earth when it comes to electing their officials.

Hopefully he does something awful so the governor can restore the Tappan Zee name to the mouthful “Governor Mario M. Cuomo Memorial Bridge”.

Is it so far-fetched that a victorious, supremely ambitious, Andrew Cuomo, in the high profile role as mayor of NYC, opposing the Trump regime, might be a very plausible candidate for president in 2028?

New Yorkers have seen what progressive politics has done to the city. de Blasio and company destroyed it. You have AOC and the current governor saying they the subways are safe the day a woman is set on fire and AOC is calling a hero and murderer. Fuck every last one of these people.

Please, can we just be done with the Cuomo's.

R3, I'm sure Cuomo has Presidential ambitions, but 2028 would probably be too soon for him to run -- people would expect him to serve a few years as Mayor under his belt before jumping ship to the National scene.

In this era?! And it's not like the man is new to government & elective office.

R4 thinks Hochul is a progressive.

I love that for him.

Does this mean Chris goes back to CNN? Asking for a friend.

I don't like Cuomo at all. I do not like Gavin Newsom. But Democrats need politicians who are pugnacious.

That CUNT AOC’s only accomplishment is scaring off Amazon from opening one of their headquarters in NYC and bringing 25,000 high paying jobs with them.

This speaks to speculation regarding Cuomo as a possible candidate for a 2028 run for the presidency.

“If Andrew Cuomo becomes mayor of New York, he could very well be Trump’s chief antagonist starting in 2026 which could give Democrats a voice to rally around, however an imperfect messenger he may be.”

I remember that and was more than appalled, r11. What was ironic about it was that a lot of liberals supported her while minorities and the working class (who stood to benefit from ancillary jobs that would be created as a result) overwhelmingly supported the idea. So instead the Virginia suburbs outside of DC got it.

She helped ship all those jobs to a red state. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Bye, bozo.

Hello Cuomo.

Aren't we counting the eggs before they hatch? He hasn't even been elected mayor yet....all this talk about president lol

[Quote] That CUNT AOC’s only accomplishment is scaring off Amazon from opening one of their headquarters in NYC and bringing 25,000 high paying jobs with them.

And she did right thing!

Those jobs came anyway and the city didn’t have be to exhorted for the billions of dollars Amazon demanded

I’ll vote for Cuomo

He's a far more plausible candidate for president than a reality star was in the mid-tens, R16.

R12, I had not seen that column before posting.

I liked him

"exhorted"

You’re right R15. Let’s wait until late July 2028 since waiting worked out so well the last election.

What do you think? Is he hung? Is his mom still alive?

Chris Cuomo isn’t touch enough to be mayor of NYC. He’s an overly sensitive whiney cunt. And I say this as someone who is himself an overly sebaitive whiney cunt. Im not tough enough to be mayor of nyc either.

R24 It’s me, R24 start making fun of my typos above so I can show just what an overly sensitive whiney cunt that I am. Thst that times 10 and you have Chris Cuomo.

I have long liked Andrew Cuomo and would certainly vote for him for mayor.

No socialist is winning. End of.

[quote]de Blasio and company destroyed it

Destroyed it? de Blasio's mayoralty was pretty fucking great. Low crime. Tourists everywhere. Introduced pre-K. What the fuck are you talking about?

[quote]So instead the Virginia suburbs outside of DC got it. She helped ship all those jobs to a red state. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

What's stupid is not knowing Virginia is pretty solidly Democratic. And, of course, a few months after the whole drama, Amazon canceled the whole project. It's stupid, stupid, stupid to be so worked up about it and yet not know a thing about it.

Trump will love him. Another corrupt sexual abuser. He cannot be trusted.

[quote]which could give Democrats a voice to rally around, however an imperfect messenger he may be.”

After 8 years of Trump and his band of thugs, who gives a damn if any of our candidates are imperfect. We've got to stop demanding perfection of our candidates when the other side is playing by a whole other set of rules. Trump is a convicted felon, for crying out loud.

Democrats must be angels while Repubs can be complete scum. This is working out well for us.

This is the problem with the democratic party in a nutshell. Trotting out these tired ass warhorses who have a shit ton of baggage, instead of looking for a candidate who is not only tough as nails but has a great vision for the future as well.

This is all about his ego and redeeming himself, first and foremost. He's already been resoundingly rejected and driven out of office. To ignore that and all that is going on right now? THE PRIVILEGE of it all.

R25 and R25. You are a whiney, overly sensitive cunt. And a terrible speller.

[quote] Destroyed it? de Blasio's mayoralty was pretty fucking great. Low crime.

OMG, here comes the gaslighting.

R32, find a non-commie and then we’ll talk. That’s the problem with the party, it’s been taken over by far-Left loonies who can’t win elections.

lol.

That’s the point Jamal Simmons is making with that statement R30, so hold your moral outrage.

Why are you blathering on about Chris Cuomo R24/R25?

R24 is so lost talking about himself he has no idea what anyone else is talking about… It’s Andrew Cuomo for Mayor, dear…

R32 no one is going to vote for someone they don’t know. Those days are long gone when a candidate had to be of a certain character. Everyone worth the battle has baggage. Democrats need a fighter now. A down and dirty fighter who can give it as good as they get it. And Cuomo already has Trump’s number from the early days of Covid when they went toe to toe. People go after Cuomo for unnecessary covid deaths but Trump doesn’t even get flagged for the over 200k unnecessary deaths due to his policies. I don’t give AF about that now - it seems a lifetime ago. Dems need people like Cuomo.

Since the election of 1730s-born George Washington, every successive decade has claimed a U.S. president with the exception of the 1810s & 1930s. And, incredible as it seems, the 1950s, the peak years of the mighty Baby Boom generation. Andrew Cuomo is very likely the decade’s last chance to claim its own president.

Isn't Cuomo close to 80 by now?

Wasn't he Me Too-ed? How is he a thing again?

Cuomo’s 67. He turns 68 late this year. A veritable child in this era.

[quote]Wasn't he Me Too-ed? How is he a thing again?

Ancient news. We got rid of Me Too when I came back to office.

[quote] Wasn't he Me Too-ed? How is he a thing again?

We've got to appeal to men again. And the women who love them.

He can't be any worse than Eric "I'm Basically Jesus" Adams.

[quote]People go after Cuomo for unnecessary covid deaths but Trump doesn’t even get flagged for the over 200k unnecessary deaths due to his policies

Democrats have constantly gone after Trump for mismanaging COVID. This logic is so stupid.

Cuomo has proven he's a failed leader. We're done with him.

I'm hoping Maya Wiley tosses her hat in the ring again.

There's a better candidate out there than Nostrils running his image rebuilding campaign.

Cuomo is a sexual assaulter and a right winger who is only a Democrat cause Daddy was. He was a horrible Governor. Fuck him and those who support him.

[quote] Cuomo is a ... right winger

Not so.

Cuomo was a republican enabler when he was governor. He held Dems back for years. He might as well be a right winger.

[quote]Cuomo was a republican enabler when he was governor. He held Dems back for years. He might as well be a right winger.

Absolute fucking bullshit, R52. Go get fucked up the ass by Mother Russia.

Cuomo as governor pushed for gay marriage and signed it into law at midnight in June 2011.

I went out in Manhattan that night and people, gay and straight, were practically dancing in the streets.

R48. You prove my point. Trump gets “mismanaged” Covid and not KILLED 200k people. See the difference?

Someone must really hate Cuomo because my experience of him having lived in NYC while he was in office was that he was a great Governor - ESPECIALLY during the first weeks of Covid when he was the only one leading the nation with his daily updates.

11 women came forward and said Cuomo told them dirty jokes. Hang the bastard!

I'm glad he's back.

He's in shape and I would fuck him. But he's probably very selfish in bed.

As if you wouldn’t like that R57.

No, you’re full of shit R53. You’re deliberately ignorant of the facts and you support a sexual assaulter.

Just Google Cuomo helped Republicans. A shit ton of stories proving I’m right will turn up.

Next time do a little research before you show how stupid you are. Oh and stop promoting sexual assault.

Anybody who trusts this lowlife is a moron.

Cuomo was a big supporter of the Independent Democratic Caucus, a group of DINO state senators who caucused with the Republicans so they maintained control over the chamber, despite the Democrats having a numerical majority.

When most of the IDC was successfully primaried in…I want to say 2018…and actual Democrats took control again, he tried to make nice, but for years, he was using his “cooperation” with the Republican Senate to burnish his bipartisan credentials for a presidential run.

Yeah, he did a good job with marriage equality (and I will absolutely giving him credit for signing it before the ink was dry so it could go into effect ASAP), but if he’d been willing to push harder, it would have passed at least a year or two before it actually did.

[quote] I'm hoping Maya Wiley tosses her hat in the ring again.

lol. You truly are clueless.

[quote] 11 women came forward and said Cuomo told them dirty jokes. Hang the bastard!

lol.

I wanna hear them dirty jokes! He sounds like a fun hang!

R24 and R25 here, Aka the overly sensitive whiney cunt. I had my Cuomo brothers confused. Chris Cuomo is a pussy. Andrew Cuomo is most certainly tough enough to run NYC. He’d kick ass as mayor. Im not a New Yorker, but if I were I would vote for him.

What about Cynthia Nixon or Christine Quinn?

Has he announced yet?

Cynthia Nixon is not inly confused about her sexuality, she’s confused about her religion. She thinks she’s a Jew. She is not, nor are her children.

He just announced. It’s worth watching his announcement video. Whoever is advising him is doing a good job with messaging so far.

100% has my vote

[quote]Adam’s’

Oh, dear!

Cynthia Nixon is running too. It's going to be a nasty election.

Cynthia Nixon has a snowball’s chance in hell of beating anyone.

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has officially entered New York City’s mayoral race.

Cuomo’s political comeback—after he resigned as governor in 2021 amid a slew of sexual harassment allegations—arrives in time for a potential run at the White House in 2028.

Cuomo, a Democrat who already held a sizable lead in the mayoral polls even before announcing his candidacy, confirmed his intention to run in a video shared on social media on Saturday.

“Our city is in crisis. That’s why I am running to be Mayor of New York City,” the 67-year-old politician wrote in the caption. “We need government to work. We need effective leadership.”

According to polling data from earlier this month, Cuomo is leading the Democratic primary field at 32 percent. Embattled incumbent Eric Adams is second, with 10 percent.

While Cuomo hasn’t publicly signaled any Oval Office aspirations, three of the last four New York City mayors have leveraged the position into presidential runs—albeit with minimal success.

In a field of potential Democratic candidates that is lacking obvious superstars, a mayoral run in the country’s biggest media market could help camera-ready Cuomo make a splash.

Cuomo—whose brother is NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo—has already proven himself a formidable on-air talent. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, he earned national recognition for firing barbs at President Donald Trump in his televised press conferences.

“If Andrew Cuomo becomes mayor of New York, he could very well be Trump’s chief antagonist starting in 2026, which could give Democrats a voice to rally around, however imperfect a messenger he may be,” Democratic strategist Jamal Simmons told The Hill earlier this month.

Cuomo is the heir to his family’s New York political dynasty. His father, Mario Cuomo, was immensely popular in New York City as the state’s governor, serving for three terms from 1983 to 1994. When he narrowly lost his fourth re-election campaign, it was because he failed to garner support outside of the flagship city.

Democratic leaders also viewed the elder Cuomo in his day as a potential candidate for national office. But he never ran.

He came close, though. In December 1991, after years of pressure, Cuomo had a plane idling on the tarmac at the Albany airport ready to carry him to New Hampshire just in time to meet the filing deadline to run for president.

But the plane never took off. Cuomo’s decision not to run for national office earned him the moniker “Hamlet on the Hudson.”

His son, whose name was floated for a presidential run in both 2016 and 2020, now has the chance to create a new legacy. However, he will have to fend off the criticism lingering from his precipitous fall from grace as governor.

The sexual harassment allegations, which Cuomo denied and were never proven in court, were the final straw after a series of debacles in his administration.

Andrew Cuomo takes off his protective face mask before speaking during a press conference about the state's response to the coronavirus pandemic on April 19, 2021 in New York City.Pool/Getty Images Still, his early support for pandemic precautions contrasted starkly with Trump’s initial downplaying of the epidemic and thrust Cuomo into the national spotlight.

Many of his Cuomo’s fans embrace the label “Cuomosexuals,” which was emblazoned on T-shirts and became an Instagram fad.

In May 2020, Cuomo enjoyed jaw-dropping polling numbers showing stratospheric bipartisan support. Ninety percent of Democrats viewed him favorably, as did 53 percent of Republicans.

However, his decline came quickly. Alongside the sexual harassment claims came accusations that Cuomo’s administration was taking steps to make COVID death counts seem lower than they actually were.

Since resigning, Cuomo has kept a low profile—until now.

“It won’t be easy,” he said in the video on Saturday. “But we can turn this city around, and I believe I can help.”

At this rate the next mayor with be a Republican.

Cynthia Nixon who advocated for looting. lol

Cynthia Nixon isn’t running for Mayor.

R28- is Deblasio

I spoke to many friends, they think he's better than the current one.

My FB feed is wall-to-wall Anti-Cuomo. I'll happily vote for him. I hope ranked-choice voting doesn't fuck this up again.

[quote] Democratic primary voters would pick Adrienne Adams over Andrew Cuomo in a general election if she were to run on the left-flank Working Families Party ballot line, polling obtained by POLITICO reveals.

[quote]A survey of likely Democratic primary voters conducted last month found them choosing the relatively low-profile New York City Council speaker over the former governor 41 percent to 34 percent. Primary frontrunner Cuomo would beat state Assembly member Zohran Mamdani — who is polling second in the primary — 46-35. And Cuomo would also defeat city Comptroller Brad Lander 41-38, the poll found.

This would be enough to get me to vote for him. LOL.

[quote]Brad Lander rides Coney Island’s famed Cyclone roller coaster while calmly taking notes on a legal pad in the second television ad of his mayoral campaign, pitching himself as a steady choice and hoping to improve his third-place standing three weeks before the election.
