Announcing his bid to run for mayor of New York City over the weekend, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared that he would “save our city.”On Monday, Mayor Eric Adams passed on several opportunities to punch back — but said he did agree with his fellow Democrat on one point.

Cuomo resigned in disgrace as governor of New York more than three years ago after being accused of sexually harassing a number of women who worked for him and misleading the public about COVID-19 deaths.

Mr Cuomo says New York City is in “crisis” and needs rescuing. The incumbent mayor, Eric Adams, was snared in a scandal over favour trading that ended with a humiliating intervention by President Donald Trump.
