On Easter on Sunday, the choir was in the Baptist Calvary Church, in southern Jamaica, Queens, ending the warmth when she entered Kara, Maria, and Michaella Kennedy Como-Girls Andrew Como, former New York Governor-in the haven. She shook the three young women who wore white clothes, quietly headed in the inclined, and exchanged good dishes with men and black women in the best Easter cases. After a few minutes, Cuomo appeared himself, looks smaller and whisper than he did when he was in office. He was quickly wrapped in a swarm of the church’s hats. In the next half, the former ruler applauded, sang to the hymns, and the swing of his shoulders, fragrant, remarkable, announced, “It is already rising“
The public has not seen many Komo since the summer of 2021, when a report from the state prosecutor’s office revealed that nearly ten women accused him of sexual harassment, and he resigned from the ruler in shame. Komo has subjected the political class in New York to a decade Evil bullying– I once shouted, “I will destroy you!” On a phone call to a gathering member who was drawing a bath for his daughters – and faced accountability if he did not leave by choosing. After his resignation, “I felt that he was raised from the Capitol building,” one of the Senator remembers the state. However, somehow, after four years, Cuomo is the first candidate to be the next mayor of New York City.
In Calvary Bismist, the priest, Victor Hall, reconsidered the high point in the Cuomo profession: the first weeks of the epidemic, when he became a national figure by holding daily press conferences that distinguished him as strict foil, parental president. Father -made polo shirts and warm peo shirts have inspired the term “Cuomoseual”. Less than a year before his expulsion, some Democrats called on Komo to replace Joe Biden on the presidential ticket. “My family in Texas, through Corona virus disease“Watch Andrew Como every day,” Hall told the group. When Komo woke up to speak, he presented a few fans’ service, and started his remarks with the stretching of his son -in -law, which was known as “the friend” during the pressure of the epidemic.

In the end, Komo arrived at the main theme of this day, which was the return stories. He brilliantly read from the Bible clips that sparked the need for humanity to salvation, and wrinkles on his forehead start like the accordion when he was particularly moving. He said: “They will rebuild the old rubble and prepare long destroyed places, and they will renew the destroyed cities,” citing the book of Isaiah. New York City, in its narration, was a destructive place-it could not be tolerated, which cannot be tolerated, which is very unreasonable, subject to division. “Frankly, this city needs work,” said Komo. “Today, we celebrate the power of the resurrection.” In those last two points, at least, everyone can say Amen.
When Komo stepped down, he was technically homeless; During his third term, the ruler’s palace was his only permanent speech. She crashed with his sister Maria in her property in Wesshster, and filled his days with the curricula that showed the desire to return to public life: private legal work, political podcast speaks straight, and never -profit organizations categorically again, now! , Which was aimed at combating anti -Semitism. Three decades ago, his father, Mario Komo, won the title of Hamlet for Hudson because of his tormented deliberations about running for the presidency. Komo’s younger style has always been Richard III.
Como found its opening last September, when Eric AdamsHe was the mayor of New York City accusation On the charges of federal corruption. To create a city residence, he seized an apartment in the city center, where his thirty -year -old daughter Kara was living. (He may have spoiled the transition from Adams, who, in the recent elections, is suspected of trying to move his son Brooklyn’s apartment as his). Pile She quickly started collecting checks from élite in New York. Como conducted initiatives for black clerics, to the most influential unions in the city, for the Jewish voters supporting Israel. He supported political figures such as actor Richie Torres, from Bronx, Como before officially announced that he was running, as if he was moving in the soul. Torres said: “We need the man of the strong master,” Torres said.
For most campaign, Cuomo accurately avoid his opponents, journalism, and outdoor public events, an approach that has been described as a “rose garden”. One of the former assistants told me: “He is a terrible activist.” “We have seen this in voting – when people saw Andrew, they didn’t like them.” However, the inevitable aura has been stiff around Komo, whose opponents include Zahran Mamdani, a member of the Democratic State Council-thirty-three years; A handful of progressive people drowned in one figure in opinion polls. And Adams, who recently traveled to Donald Trump to avoid a possible prison time.
Perhaps the current crises of the city – the full -time general infrastructure, the incurable civil conflict, and the president’s attempts to strangle its original city – reminded the residents of New York with a different period of chaos, when Komo looked at the mind. After rejoicing from the theater in the Baptist Calvary, the former ruler discredited his daughters in the back seat of his black truck Dodge. While he was wandering behind the wheel, he broke the smallest smiles.
For all Fiorello La Guardia or Michael Bloomberg, there are dozens of characters that can be forgotten and vital in the proportions of the New York mayor. Nicolas Payard, the sixteenth city municipality, had ties with the slave trade and was a colleague of the pirate captain Kid. David Matthews, who served from 1776 to 1783, was one of the anti -revolutionary loyalists who was involved in a plot to kidnap George Washington. Jimmy Walker, the “Mayor of the Night”, the charismatic, who took office in the twenties of the twentieth century, is close to that before he was removed from his position by a ruler, and escaped from the charges of criminal corruption by transporting a steam ship to Europe. Rudy Giuliani, who was once considered a national hero to lead during the events of September 11, who fell into a spray from legal and financial problems after linking himself to Trump, represents a third category, of municipal heads who are both non -censorship and non -oppression. Eric Adams appears to be able to join him there.
At the beginning of his term, Adams announced that he would be a mayor with “Swagger”. He became a key player in exclusive night clubs, and he went out comfortable for old friends from the New York police and the Brooklyn Democratic Party. A senior official in the Adams administration recently told me: “Municipal mayors usually have a man or two.” “Adams had twelve young men. There were many of them, they were colliding with each other.” When federal corruption charges were canceled against him, it seemed to be inevitable to be disappointing. The case focused on campaign donations, reduced air travel, and other free acceptable representatives of the Turkish government, claiming in exchange for a rapid tracking of the opening of a new Turkish consular building-a kind of simple deals that Tamani Hall The presidents once called the “sincere graft”. But the indictment gives way to something much worse: the mayor’s comfort in Trump.
The engagement was spilled in a general show in October, at the Smith dinner, which is the annual donation collection of the white Catholic charities. During Trump’s comments, he made an offer to Adams, a criminal defender colleague: “You were persecuted, and so are you, Erik.” This followed an embarrassing flirtation. Adams, who described him during the first period of Trump as the president as a “fool”, the lawyer of celebrity Alex Spereo, who represented Elon Musk, rented his defense. After Trump won the presidential elections, the mayor called on his congratulations; Later, at a meeting, he told the city’s senior agency to refrain from criticizing the elected president. (“Seria”, one of the attendees said. When Trump was asked if he would think of giving Adams an amnesty, he seemed to be thinking about two seconds before saying, “Yes, I will do.”
In January, Frank Caron, a former naval and broker Boor, who held the position of Chief of Staff of the Adams City Hall, was allocated with Eric Trump, the second son of the president, to arrange a meeting between the mayor and soon will be re -installed. During a lunch at Trump International Golf Club, in West Palm Beach, the two men found what Caron, who joined them on the table, found “good surprises for common topics.” But Caron strongly dispelled any idea of the arrangement between Adams and Trump. He said, “I will give you the facts – reality.” “There was no discussion with President Trump about his case, about migration, or any deal at all.”
Perhaps it does not need to be discussed. Three days later, in Martin Luther King, Son, Dai, Adams got rid of the intelligence of joining the local civilization to attend Trump’s inauguration, in Washington. Just a few weeks later, Emile Bouv, a senior official at the Trump Ministry of Justice, asked the US Prosecutor’s Office in Manhattan to put the Adams case, on the pretext that the charges interfered with the mayor’s ability to help immigration policies at the White House.
