Two Governors Ousted in Scandal Want to Be Mayor

March 15, 2025 · 12:35 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Politico: “Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who stepped down in 2021 following sexual harassment allegations, just launched his campaign for mayor of New York City. Former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey, who exited office in 2004 after admitting to an extramarital affair with a man who he hired, is campaigning to lead New Jersey’s second largest city, Jersey City.”

“While both are Democrats, they are likely to benefit from the Donald Trump effect, where expectations around character have been obliterated.”
