Andrew Cuomo, who has entered the race for New York City mayor, launched a campaign ad on Wednesday that paints him as a direct counterforce to President Trump—just hours after reports surfaced of a Justice Department investigation into his conduct.
The ad showcases a sequence of well-known political figures who have clashed with Trump and are now under federal scrutiny, concluding with Cuomo himself, who is reportedly being investigated over testimony he gave to Congress regarding his handling of the COVID-19 crisis.
“If Donald Trump doesn’t want Andrew Cuomo as mayor, you do,” the ad boldly proclaims.
The video doesn’t shy away from recalling Attorney General Letitia James, whose findings in a harassment inquiry led to Cuomo’s departure from the governor’s office in 2021.
According to a New York Times report on Tuesday evening, the Department of Justice initiated a criminal investigation last month into whether Cuomo misled Congress about the number of nursing home fatalities in New York during the early stages of the pandemic.
