The former New York governor who resigned amid sexual harassment allegations is leading the mayoral primary race
When Andrew Cuomo resigned in disgrace four years ago, few would have predicted him to make a comeback.
Yet the former New York governor, who resigned amid sexual harassment allegations, is the frontrunner to become the next mayor of New York City, a role that he hopes could rehabilitate him and, allegedly, give him a platform to run for president.
Through the early months of the Democratic primary, the winner of which is likely to be elected mayor in November, Cuomo was polling well ahead of his opponents – his name recognition and wealthy backers making for a formidable candidate.
In recent weeks, it has become clear that Cuomo, a centrist who worked in Bill Clinton’s administration before turning his attention to state politics, is unlikely to have it his own way.
