How well he does remains to be seen.
But he knew the facts, and he spoke out about them—accurately.
In today’s world, that is almost Unicorn territory.
Every Governor, including Cuomo, in the country has full aothority to address the virus.
The media will pat their heads and commiserate when they blam the Feds... but no one with knowledge of the Constitution.
The most obvious, and cheap and easy, thing the Gpovernors could have done was testing.

But it was their job to get around those hurdles.
And they had the full authority to do so.
So, despite the media narrative, it is the Governors to blame for all the early failures. Not the feds.
