Scott Stringer says he’s ‘never felt this good’ despite sexual assault allegation

Embattled New York City mayoral candidate Scott Stringer vowed Tuesday to stay in the race, claiming he’s “never felt this good” about his campaign — despite a sexual assault allegation against him and a growing list of endorsers jumping ship.

“Only when the voters decide they don’t elect me, I guess I’m out,” Stringer, the city’s comptroller, told NY1’s “Mornings on 1” when asked if he would withdraw. “I think people are going to support me and I’ve never felt this good about this campaign, believe it or not.” Stringer has denied the allegations made against him last week by lobbyist and comedian Jean Kim, who says he groped and kissed her and made repeated unwanted sexual advances when she was an unpaid intern on his public advocate campaign when he was a state assemblyman.
