(TheRedAlertNews.com) – In what might as well be described as a disturbing blast from the past, disgraced former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is reported to be planning to run for NYC Mayor.

Cuomo’s potential return to public office has stirred up a political storm, with his alleged sexual misconduct and prior controversies not forgotten.
Reports suggest a mayoral candidacy announcement could be imminent, leaving many anticipating how he’ll fare in an already tumultuous political environment.
Three years after resigning as New York’s governor amidst scandal, Andrew Cuomo is reportedly preparing a bid for the mayoral seat in New York City.
Sources indicate his announcement could come as early as this weekend.
Despite the clouds of past controversies, Cuomo is currently leading in Democrat primary polls.
His platform, yet to be fully articulated, could leverage his previous experiences in governing.
Cuomo is far from having a smooth path, not with existing allegations of harassment, a COVID-19 data cover-up, and alleged misuse of state resources.
Still, he has managed to establish a substantial advantage over other potential Democrat candidates.
He’s currently enjoying support from labor groups and endorsements from key political figures.
This support reveals a remarkable rebound in political favor, considering the magnitude of his past allegations.
With petitions now hitting the streets, it’s clear that the race to place Cuomo at the helm of New York City’s government is gaining momentum.
Cuomo has taken strategic steps, including plans to appoint the political director of the New York City carpenters union to a senior campaign role.
Wealthy donors are holding fundraising events to bolster his campaign, proving that he still holds sway in powerful circles.
Yet the shadow of his gubernatorial scandals still looms large, and his potential run is already facing criticism from political opponents.
“Over the course of several months, he’s gotten enormous encouragement from people across the gamut, whether they are businesspeople or people from the labor movement,” said a source close to Cuomo, cited by Newsday.
The polls currently place Cuomo 26% ahead of his nearest rivals, evidencing robust support despite his controversial past.
Rival candidates include Democrat Socialist Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani, who has secured a strong fundraising base and a noteworthy 12% of the poll.
Current Mayor Eric Adams, beset by his federal corruption charges, isn’t ignoring the competition either, but dismissing Cuomo’s potential candidacy seems foolhardy.
As Cuomo’s plans unfold, some speculate whether these efforts represent a genuine desire to lead or a bid to reclaim a reputation tarnished by scandal.
Regardless, his history of policy-making and navigating political headwinds suggest he’s a force to be reckoned with, one that will significantly shake up New York’s imminent mayoral race.
