Lindsey Boylan helped drive Andrew Cuomo from office in 2021 when she came forward as the first woman to accuse the governor of sexual harassment.

Now, Cuomo is a frontrunner in the mayoral race, even as state and party leaders, while not warm to his candidacy, haven’t condemned it either.

Cuomo resigned in 2021 after a report released by the state attorney general concluded that he had sexually harassed 11 women.

Cuomo apologized for having 'offended' the women with remarks he said were intended to be collegial.

But he denied touching anyone inappropriately and said the investigation of his conduct was flawed and politically motivated.

Despite the accusations, Cuomo has lined up some endorsements from women in politics.

Trump has reshaped the idea of what is acceptable conduct for public officials, an expert says.
