Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is back on the scene, and he hopes everyone forgot about the scandals that drove him out of office.

Cuomo launched his long-rumored run for New York City mayor on Saturday. Capitalizing on the unpopularity of current Mayor Eric Adams, Cuomo declared that the city is in dire straits because of “our political leaders, or, more precisely, the lack of intelligent action by many of our political leaders.” He has already secured the endorsement of Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) and the Staten Island Democratic Party, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) hasn’t ruled out an endorsement either.
