Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo is embracing a so-called Rose Garden strategy in his tightly controlled campaign for mayor of New York City. He arrives at campaign events like a well-preserved relic of the political past, a little leaner and more gray, but spry enough to extract himself from behind the wheel of his muscle car of the moment, a sleek Dodge Charger.

Mayor Eric Adams of New York City insists that he is running for re-election. But if actions speak louder than words, evidence would strongly suggest otherwise. The mayor has taken few concrete steps to launch a serious campaign, even as he faces a growing field of prominent challengers in the June 24 primary, less than four months away.
