The political comeback of disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is playing out in front of our very eyes. Will New York Democrats make it clear which side of the fence they stand on? Or will they simply roll over and let it play out, as Virginia Democrats did for the blackface-wearing Gov. Ralph Northam?
Just months after his sexual harassment scandals cost him his office, Cuomo’s shameless comeback got underway with an ad campaign. New polls show just how real it may be. In a poll from the Hill and Emerson College, Cuomo trails Gov. Kathy Hochul among Democratic primary voters by only 4 points. Cuomo has the support of 59% of black Democratic voters. Among all Democratic voters, 43% agree with Cuomo that the investigation into his behavior was politically motivated.
