Cuomo answers Trump DOJ probe with new ad attacking Trump over election interference

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

37% : "If Donald Trump doesn't want Andrew Cuomo as mayor, you do," the narrator concludes.
32% : Cuomo drew particular ire for his administration's undercount of the number of nursing home COVID deaths in New York, with House Democrats releasing a report late last year concluding he inappropriately "interfered" with the tally and arguing he "should be held accountable." Though the nursing home matter is a fraught issue for him, Cuomo's new ad indicates he will try to use the Trump DOJ probe as a badge of honor as he continues to poll as the favorite to become the next mayor of New York City, where Trump remains deeply unpopular.
25% : Once Trump came into office, his political appointees -- without opining on the merits of the case -- secured a controversial dismissal of Adams' indictment because they said they needed it quashed so he could play a larger role in helping the president's "mass deportation" agenda.
25% : "Investigations must take their course, and I'm not going to do to him what others did to me," Adams, who has denied a quid pro quo with Trump, told reporters after an unrelated press conference in Manhattan on Wednesday morning.
12% : The 33-second spot kicks off with a narrator recounting how Trump's administration has recently used federal law enforcement to target elected Democrats across the U.S. -- including New York Attorney General Letitia James, a longtime political nemesis to both Cuomo and Trump who's facing a criminal DOJ probe, too.
8% : Ex-City Comptroller Scott Stringer, another candidate in June's mayoral primary, said both Cuomo and Adams should be considered compromised by Trump at this point.
