In the aftermath of the New York City mayoral debate on May 19, two major developments have emerged: Andrew Cuomo’s admission of failure to recall details about the number of COVID-19 nursing home deaths, and the upcoming mayoral primary for Mayor Bill Bloomberg. Cuomo, who served as a New York Democrat until 2021, is now competing for office. In his testimony, he denied seeing the report that detailed the figures, citing prior testimony from his Transfer Committee colleague, Rupert Keck, as the basis for his claim. He also emphasized that he may have altered the report to avoid accuracy on the subject. However, during most of the debate, he claimed the published report was accurate and that this had been politically normalized from the first day.
The discussion also centered around Bill Bloomberg’s endorsement of Cuomo in the race. Bloomberg, who just commuted after his contraction to New York City, has been a key opponent to Cuomo for months.
