In a new chapter to a nursing home controversy that has dogged his administration, Gov. Cuomo went after Queens Assemblyman Ron Kim, one of the most outspoken critics of Cuomo for his handling of the pandemic in facilities for the elderly.

NY1’s Zack Fink, Juan Manuel Benítez, and Courtney Gross explain how the scandal reached this boiling point, and what this could mean for the governor’s political brand.

They also discuss the latest in the race for mayor, including who’s leading in popularity and who’s pulling ahead in the fundraising race.

We want to hear from you, especially what you think about Cuomo’s nursing home policies over the last year:
