Mayor Adams Joins Growing Chorus Against Cuomo’s COVID Record

In a scathing public statement, NYC Mayor Eric Adams criticized Andrew Cuomo’s management of the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically targeting the former governor’s role in the nursing home crisis. Speaking alongside grieving familes and fellow mayoral candidates, Adams mocked Cuomo’s reputation as a “great manager”, pointing out the devasting impact of Cuomo’s directive to send COVID-positive patients into nursing homes—a move linked to thousands of preventable deaths. Adams also highlighted racial disparities in Cuomo’s pandemic response and underscored growing opposition to Cuomo’s comeback bid for City Hall.
