After more than a year out of the public spotlight, former governor Andrew Cuomo is making a political comeback.
Cuomo said his time away from politics — which he said has included attempting to fix a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, among other activities — has changed his perspective, and he decried the deep partisanship affecting current political discourse.
Cuomo resigned in August 2021, during his third term, a week after New York's attorney general released a report that concluded he had sexually harassed at least 11 women. This month, Cuomo filed an ethics complaint against Attorney General Letitia James that questioned the investigation's credibility, noting that James briefly ran for governor after Cuomo resigned.Former Gov.

Debra Katz, an attorney for former aide Charlotte Bennett, said of Cuomo Wednesday,"I think the world would be a better place if he just stayed at home and worked on his motorcycle."One-time Andrew Cuomo aide Charlotte Bennett files federal lawsuit against former governor
