Regarding the landscape: From Cuomo's candidacy to Rangel’s legacy
Description
For the last several months, “Off Topic/On Politics” has been discussing the top Democratic candidates for mayor, looking at their policies, platforms and political challenges. This week, their focus is on Andrew Cuomo. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporters Bobby Cuza and Ayana Harry examine the legacy, controversies and promises of Cuomo’s candidacy, just as a new poll indicates his support may be slipping.
After that, Charles Rangel, the longtime Harlem congressman and influential Democratic lawmaker, died this week at the age of 94. Rangel was the last surviving member of the influential political coalition known as the "Gang of Four" and served in Congress for 46 years, becoming one of the most powerful Democrats in Washington. The “Off Topic" team looks at the incredible political career of the New York congressman.
