Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo will speak at a prominent Brooklyn Democratic club next week — fueling speculation that he’s itching to make a political comeback.
Cuomo — who resigned in August 2021 amid sexual misconduct accusations that he denies — will speak next Thursday at the monthly meeting of the Thomas Jefferson Democratic Club.
“Who knows? Maybe Andrew Cuomo will make a comeback,” Frank Seddio, a longtime powerbroker at the club and one-time Brooklyn Democratic leader, told The Post Thursday.
Seddio said he called to check in on Cuomo by phone a few weeks ago and invited him to speak at his club — without hesitation or reservation.
He noted that ex-Congressman Anthony Weiner — whose political career crashed in sexting scandals that included prison time for sexting a 15-year-old girl — spoke to his club in July.
“I’m loyal to my friends to the end. I’ve known Andrew since 1977 when his father [Mario Cuomo] ran for mayor,” Seddio said. “I’ve known Andrew since he was a teenager.”
“It will be interesting to hear what he has to say.”
Seddio sent a note to club members about Cuomo’s visit — and effusively praised the ex-governor.
“I am pleased to inform you that our guest speaker that evening will be the Honorable ANDREW CUOMO, former governor of the State of New York. This is a unique opportunity for us to hear from one the most prestigious men in our state,” Seddio, currently a Democratic District leader, said.
“Gov. Cuomo has held many positions in government over his many years of service. I believe he will offer serious insight into our state’s problems and possible solutions. This will be the first time he has made a public political appearance since he left office. I look forward to greeting him and you on this most auspicious occasion. Please join me in giving the governor a rousing TJ Club welcome on the 14th.”
Cuomo has not been shy about expressing his views on current events while in exile.
He particularly has been critical of President Biden and Gov. Kathy Hochul’s handling of the migrant crisis, saying New York City should not solely be saddled with absorbing thousands of asylum seekers.
Cuomo, who spoke at two events in the Hamptons over the summer, had no immediate comment.
