In the race for New York City mayor, Democratic candidate Jessica Ramos, a state senator from Queens, threw her support to Andrew Cuomo Friday.

The decision by Ms. Ramos, a state senator from Queens, is at odds with her frequent criticism of Andrew M. Cuomo, including comments questioning his “mental acuity.”

Four years ago, a chorus of fellow New York Democrats called on then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign amid sexual harassment allegations. Now, a growing group of them are endorsing him for mayor of New York City.
