Is Andrew Cuomo Planning a Comeback Bid for NYC Mayor?

Andrew Cuomo, the former governor of New York, might be eyeing a political comeback—this time as mayor of New York City. While he hasn’t officially announced his candidacy, behind-the-scenes efforts suggest he’s seriously considering it.

Sources reveal that Cuomo’s close allies are working to establish a super PAC, a powerful fundraising tool that could give his potential campaign a significant boost. This group, guided by longtime confidant Steven M. Cohen, has already brainstormed names like “Fix NYC” and “Reform Our City,” echoing themes Cuomo has recently emphasized.

Interestingly, former aides to President Trump, including Anthony Scaramucci, were involved in early discussions. Though their current role remains unclear, the involvement of such high-profile figures highlights the serious planning underway.

A super PAC would allow Cuomo to raise unlimited funds from big donors, a major advantage in a crowded race. It’s a strategy that worked well for Eric Adams in the 2021 mayoral election.

Cuomo, who resigned as governor in 2021 following sexual harassment allegations (which he denies), hasn’t made a final decision. If he enters the race, he’ll face off against Mayor Adams and several other Democratic contenders.

For now, it’s a waiting game. But with a super PAC in the works, Cuomo seems to be preparing for a potential last-minute sprint to the June primary. Stay tuned—New York City politics never disappoints.
