As former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo considers a return to politics, a new group led by former aide Peter Kauffmann has launched a digital ad attacking his Covid-19 response. The ad, titled “The Truth,” compares Cuomo to other disgraced New York politicians, warning voters of his potential candidacy.
Cuomo has been exploring a run for mayor amid Mayor Eric Adams’ legal troubles. While Cuomo remains a strong candidate, critics are mobilizing to remind voters of his scandals, including his handling of nursing home deaths and sexual harassment allegations.
Cuomo’s team dismisses the criticisms as politically motivated, but the ad campaign may reignite public scrutiny of his past as he prepares for a potential political revival.
