Former Governor Andrew Cuomo's campaign for New York City mayor has received a significant boost with endorsements from Local 32BJ and the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council, two of the city's largest and most influential unions. This development marks a notable turn of events, as both unions were previously vocal in calling for Cuomo's resignation during his tenure as governor.
The endorsements suggest a possible change in sentiment towards Cuomo within the labor movement. Sources close to the campaign believe these endorsements could influence other unions and voters. Cuomo's platform focuses on economic recovery, affordable housing, and public safety, issues that resonate strongly with union members.
However, the mayoral race is expected to be fiercely contested, with several other prominent candidates vying for the position. Cuomo's past controversies remain a factor, and his opponents are likely to highlight them throughout the campaign. The coming months will be crucial as Cuomo works to solidify his support and convince voters that he is the right choice to lead New York City.
