What To Know About Andrew Cuomo

From the moment he resigned as New York's governor, people have speculated that it was only a matter of time before Andrew Cuomo would try to barge his way back into politics.

That day came Saturday, when the Democrat announced he was running for mayor of New York City.

Now, the big question is whether voters want him back.

In his campaign announcement video Saturday and a speech Sunday, Cuomo sought to portray New York as a city in crisis. He cast himself as a tough manager who can tackle problems like homelessness and sky-high housing costs.

Yet his entry into the race prompted immediate condemnation from some who said he doesn't deserve a second chance.
