Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo appears to have opted against mounting an independent run for his old job — at least for now.
Cuomo, who resigned in August amid allegations he sexually harassed multiple women, had said he was open to running for governor this year, despite the scandal.
That deadline passed without Cuomo’s campaign turning in the required nominating petitions, according to the state Board of Elections. Cuomo could still try to mount a long-shot campaign as a write-in candidate in November, but he’d face a nearly impossible task of trying to get millions of people to write in his name instead of the Democratic or Republican nominee.
Cuomo stepped down in his third term, saying at the time that while he denied the allegations of wrongdoing, he was stepping aside to avoid subjecting the state to months of turmoil.
