At an endorsement event in Forest Hills, Cuomo asserted his potential to confront Trump effectively and highlighted his experience during Trump&#8217;s presidency. Queens County Democratic Party representative Gregory Meeks endorsed Cuomo, emphasizing his ties to Queens and his readiness to communicate Democratic values. Cuomo also referenced his achievements in raising the minimum wage and paid family leave during his governorship. Recent polls indicate a important lead for Cuomo over the current mayor, Eric Adams, who is facing legal troubles. Despite his ambitions, Cuomo has a troubled past, having resigned in 2021 amid multiple sexual harassment allegations.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Cuomo talks tough on Trump: &lsquo;Diabolical&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2031433\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/andrew-cuomo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Andrew Cuomo<\/a> (D-NY) positioned himself as the best person to oppose President Donald Trump should he be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3334447\/cuomo-paints-dim-picture-of-nyc-in-mayoral-campaign-announcement-the-city-feels-threatening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">elected mayor<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">New York City<\/a> later this year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo&rsquo;s comments came as he received an endorsement from Queens County Democratic Party Rep.
