There are just weeks to go before the November 4 New York City mayoral election, a virtual rematch of the Democratic primary from earlier this year, when democratic socialist state lawmaker Zohran Mamdani defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for the party nomination. Cuomo is now running for mayor as an independent, but former aide Lindsey Boylan says New Yorkers must not forget why he was forced out of the governor’s mansion four years ago. She was the first of about a dozen women to accuse Cuomo of sexual harassment, setting in motion events that would lead to his fall from power — even as he continues to claim innocence.
“He resigned because he did these things,” says Boylan, who backs Mamdani in the mayoral race. “People powerful within his own party forced that resignation because they knew he did these things. So he’s lying. … We have to repeat it, because people have to know what an abuser he is.”
