After much anticipation, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo officially entered the race for New York City mayor, joining a crowded Democratic primary field. Cuomo resigned in 2021 amid 11 allegations of sexual harassment, though Cuomo has denied wrongdoing. NY1’s Errol Louis spoke about Cuomo’s legacy and his future, with Christopher Robbins, an editor and co-founder of the news outlet Hell Gate. They also talked about recent polling that shows Mayor Eric Adams’ job approval rating dipping to an all-time low. And they discussed the reasons why Robbins started Hell Gate and what he sees in the future for the news outlet.
