#Scott Stringer says he’s ‘never felt this good’ amid scandal

Embattled New York City mayoral candidate Scott Stringer vowed Tuesday to stay in the race, claiming he’s “never felt this good” about his campaign — despite a sexual assault allegation against him and a growing list of endorsers jumping ship.

“Only when the voters decide they don’t elect me, I guess I’m out,” Stringer, the city’s comptroller, told NY1’s “Mornings on 1” when asked if he would withdraw. “I think people are going to support me and I’ve never felt this good about this campaign, believe it or not.”

Stringer has denied the allegations made against him last week by lobbyist and comedian Jean Kim, who says he groped and kissed her and made repeated unwanted sexual advances when she was an unpaid intern on his public advocate campaign when he was a State Assemblyman.

The 61-year-old longtime Democratic politician claims Kim, 49, was a 30-year-old volunteer and “peer,” not an intern, for his campaign and that the two had an “on-and-off” consensual relationship.

Stringer insisted again Tuesday the allegations were “totally and completely false” —even as he spoke of the importance of ensuring that “women are heard” when they come forward with sexual misconduct allegations.

“There’s no merit to it. It didn’t happen,” Stringer said. “And I just want everybody to know that this is not who I am.”

He went on to insist he will be able to earn the backing of Big Apple voters.

“I think New Yorkers will be able to figure it out,” he said. “I think that when you go out into the streets, the churches and subway stations, I think that there’s tremendous support for me. I believe I’m going to be the next mayor.”

Stringer touted his endorsement from the UFT, and from Teamsters Local 237— representing school safety agents, among others—which gave him a timely nod on Monday.

Asked about recent polling, which shows he is trailing behind Andrew Yang and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, Stringer insisted his campaign would surge.

“I am the greatest comeback candidate that we’ve seen in quite a while, I was down 20 points at this time with Eliot Spitzer, and I won that race,” he said of his 2013 comptroller primary bid. “I don’t listen to these polls.”
