The Cuomo family was royalty in the Democrat Party.
But in recent years they haven’t received the royal treatment the Obamas and Clintons demand.
But now Andrew Cuomo has one trick up his sleeve that has Democrats sweating bullets.
The decline of a Democrat dynasty
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is poised to join the Trump administration as the President-elect’s nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services.
RFK is only in this position after he was summarily dumped by the Democrat Party for bucking the globalist narrative on pandemic mandates.
Few can understand what Kennedy went through more than the Cuomo brothers.
In early 2020, Democrats were looking at New York Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo as a potential Presidential candidate.
In fact, at one point there was even some buzz building about replacing President Joe Biden on the 2020 Democrat ticket with Cuomo.
Cuomo’s fall from grace started when his real pandemic record was unearthed.
The then-governor of the Empire State had imposed some of the strictest COVID restrictions in the entire country.
He also made the decision to put COVID patients in nursing homes, putting them in beds right next to the most vulnerable population.
According to a report from the Empire Center for Public Policy, the Cuomo administration admitted 6,327 COVID patients into nursing homes between late March and early May 2020.
The move reportedly resulted in more than 1,000 resident deaths.
Then, Cuomo hid the true number of deaths related to his policy.
Clouded in controversy, things only got worse for Cuomo as several women came out making allegations of sexual harassment against New York’s Democrat governor.
After first promising to fight on, Cuomo relented and resigned in disgrace in August of 2021.
His brother Chris Cuomo – both sons of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo — eventually lost his job as a CNN host for working with Andrew to shape coverage of the story in a biased fashion.
The Cuomo’s hit the comeback trail
The younger Cuomo – known by many as “Fredo” – has launched his comeback tour.
He now has his own show on NewNation, he’s apologized to Donald Trump for his negative coverage – and even spent the latter stages of the 2024 election cycle criticizing Big Media for propping up Vice President Kamala Harris and fearmongering about a second Trump term in the White House.
Not to be outdone, Andrew is hoping to make a comeback of his own.
For more than a year now, reports have emerged that the elder Cuomo has been eying a run for Mayor of New York City.
The rumors began when current Big Apply Democrat Mayor Eric Adams was first faced with potential scandals of his own.
While Adams tries to figure out an invasion of illegal aliens, a surge in crime, an opioid epidemic, failing school systems, residents fleeing the state and a worthless economy – all created by policies he supported – he’s also fighting against multiple allegations of impropriety.
The FBI is investigating the possibility that Adam’s campaign masked large donations from the Turkish government.
Meanwhile, Adams is denying charges from a woman suing him for $5 million alleging he sexually assaulted her back in 1993.
The Cuomo camp first acknowledged that the ex-Governor may be interested in running Gotham, but only if Adams did not seek re-election.
Adams vs. Cuomo
However, that tune now appears to have changed.
It seems Adams will indeed run for a second term as Mayor.
And that’s not stopping Cuomo.
CNN is reporting that the disgraced three-times-elected Empire State Governor is putting the wheels in motion for a mayoral bid.
“He’s been telling donors and other influential political figures that if he gets in, he’s going to win, and they’ve got to get behind him,” CNN reported.
Additionally, according to CNN, Cuomo has changed his address to officially be located in New York City.
And the latest polling suggests Cuomo very well could be correct about his chances for victory.
A survey by Democratic activist group Progressive Democrats of America shows Cuomo is the heavy frontrunner in the Democrat primary – should he enter the race.
32% of respondents named Cuomo as their top choice for Mayor.
Former city Comptroller Scott Stringer is in a distant second place with 10% support, current Comptroller Brad Lander was right behind at 8%, followed by Queens State Senator Jessica Ramos at 7%.
Only then did Mayor Adams appear with just 6%.
Perhaps poll numbers like these are motivating Cuomo’s sudden apparent insistence on running.
