Former governor of New York; losing 2025 NYC mayoral candidate
Former governor of New York · Person · United States
Andrew Cuomo resigned as governor of New York in 2021 after the state attorney general found he had sexually harassed 11 women, nine of them current and former state employees. In November 2024, warming up for a comeback, he joined Benjamin Netanyahu's legal team to fight the ICC arrest warrants issued over Gaza. His 2025 mayoral run was then carried by billionaire money: Fix the City alone spent $28M for him by 1 November, and Michael Bloomberg gave $13.3M across both rounds. The investment failed twice. Zohran Mamdani beat him in the June primary and again on 4 November.

After nearly five months, the investigators concluded that Governor Cuomo did sexually harass multiple women — including former and current state employees — by engaging in unwanted groping, kissing, and hugging, and making inappropriate comments. Further, the governor and his senior staff took actions to retaliate against at least one former employee for coming forward with her story.
Cuomo, who resigned in August over sexual-harassment allegations, has been criticized for using public resources, including state workers, to write the book.
