Cuomo comeback talk chilled with former New York governor sitting out Democratic primary
CNN
If former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who resigned amid a sexual harassment scandal last summer, is going to attempt a political comeback in 2022, it will not be under the banner of the party he led for more than a decade.
The deadline to launch a long-shot Democratic primary bid for governor or state attorney general has passed, and Cuomo -- despite repeated hints and rumors -- ultimately chose not to take the necessary steps, including the collection of thousands of signatures, to challenge either Gov. Kathy Hochul or, as had been floated, state Attorney General Letitia James.
Cuomo's decision follows weeks of scattered public appearances, statements from his team that pointed to positive notes in public polling, and an expensive television ad campaign that sought to revive his public image. Still, the doors are not completely shut on a bid this year. The former governor has until May 31 to file to run as an independent, a decision that could potentially insert him in a spoiler role for the general election in November.
