Jessica Ramos, a state senator from Queens, endorsed Andrew Cuomo in his bid for New York City mayor, surprising many due to her past criticisms of him. Previously, she questioned his mental acuity and labeled him a bully with a history of sexual misconduct allegations. Despite this, Ramos praised Cuomo as capable of protecting the city and expressed confidence in his ability to confront the Trump administration. This endorsement comes on the heels of a Democratic primary debate where Cuomo faced scrutiny over his administration's handling of the pandemic and past allegations against him.
We need someone in City Hall who knows how to hold the line and deliver under pressure... he was the one best positioned right now to protect this city.
Ramos said she believed he could go toe-to-toe with the Donald Trump administration when it counts.
Ramos has previously questioned Cuomo's mental acuity and described him as a corrupt bully with a record of alleged sexual misconduct.
In 2021, Ramos was one of the first Democratic lawmakers to call for Cuomo to resign over sexual harassment allegations.
