What It Looks Like As Andrew Cuomo Closes In on Mayoralty [View all]

It’s Andrew Cuomo.

The former governor of New York is emerging from the shadows of his past, four years after he resigned his governorship amid sexual harassment allegations he has vehemently denied.

Many Democrats in the five boroughs seem willing to forgive and forget. Cuomo has led every poll by wide margins — and he has more money behind his bid than anyone else.
