(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – In a shocking surprise, Andrew Cuomo, the ex-governor whose tenure ended amid scandal, is creeping back into the political arena.

Reports suggest an announcement of his New York City mayoral run this weekend, confirming the rumors that have swirled around.
Three years ago, Andrew Cuomo resigned from office with a tarnished reputation after a slew of sexual misconduct allegations.
Now, it seems he’s gearing up for a return, eyeing the role of New York City’s mayor.
Sources say Cuomo has been laying the groundwork for months, meeting with lawmakers and labor leaders and assembling a campaign team.
While he hasn’t officially declared his candidacy, an announcement is expected soon.
Cuomo appears to be the front-runner in the Democrat primary, according to recent polls.
Despite his past controversies, including a COVID-19 data cover-up and alleged misuse of state resources, Cuomo leads with 38% of the vote.
Anti-Cuomo ads have been quick to highlight these scandals, but he remains a favored candidate over others like Zohran Mamdani and Mayor Eric Adams.
Interestingly, Mayor Eric Adams, currently facing federal corruption charges, has intentions of seeking reelection.
He has publicly expressed dismissiveness toward Cuomo’s potential run.
“I want to focus on running the city and not get into the mayoral race,” he said.
Both Cuomo and Adams appeal to moderate Democrats, and their shared voter base could lead to an intriguing contest if Cuomo enters the race officially.

The Democratic field, crowded with names like State Sen. Zellnor Myrie, City Comptroller Brad Lander, and Assemb. Zohran Mamdani, showcases varied strategies.
Mamdani has shown strong fundraising prowess, raising $2.82 million in public matching funds, and stands in second place with 12%.
Given the complex electoral landscape, the outcome of this race could further shape the city’s future.
Cuomo’s significant backing from elected officials and labor groups, including an endorsement from US Rep. Ritchie Torres, bolsters his chances.
Amid growing speculation, Cuomo remains discreet, avoiding media while orchestrating his campaign reboot.
His spokesperson, Rich Azzopardi, offered nothing definitive regarding his intentions.
Wealthy donors are reportedly preparing fundraisers.
Should he declare his candidacy, Cuomo’s re-entry into the political scene may prove to be one of the most striking stories in the upcoming election cycle.
