Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo has taken a commanding lead in the polls and siphoned some of Eric Adams’s old political coalition.

Cuomo raised $1.5 million in his first public filing, with another $15 million reported by a super PAC supporting his candidacy.

Cuomo has spent years attempting to rehabilitate his legacy, suing the state for records in the sexual misconduct investigation that led to his ouster.

Cuomo ’s reputation has polarized New York residents for years , with some seeing him as a brash political operator willing to bully his way through Albany .

Cuomo 's rivals are folding the personal attacks into a broader critique of his candidacy.

Cuomo has offered the same focus on public safety that helped elect the mayor, a retired NYPD captain.

Cuomo ’s spokesman took a shot at Mamdani unprompted when asked about the scandals his opponents have sought to re-litigate.

“These are serious times that demand a serious Mayor, not performance art from a defund the police, DSA-extremist and anti-Israel activists,” he said.
