Andrew Cuomo is no longer just New York's governor - he is now America's governor. Thanks to his excellent leadership during the overwhelming health crisis caused by the coronavirus, Cuomo has provided much-needed comfort and information to the entire country. He has been so effective and has presented such a stark contrast with the vacuum of leadership in the White House that now some people are saying he should be America's president.
As a New Yorker, I understand where they're coming from, but I wish they would stop. First, New York needs Cuomo's leadership now and in the months to come. Second, former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont would fight any late entry he would make into the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, which could lead to President Donald Trump's re-election. Third, there is no need for a third reason; the first two should be enough.
As someone who served as special adviser to Cuomo, I've seen him handle a looming transit strike, the Ebola crisis and natural disasters. I get what people are drawn to, as it's the same thing that can drive his staff nuts - a complete dedication to the facts and a depth of knowledge of how government works at the federal, state and municipal levels.
Those who are asking why didn't Cuomo run for president should understand that it was never in the cards for the governor, whose poll numbers were at an unimpressive 43 percent just seven months ago before skyrocketing to 71 percent now.
New Yorkers love to hate our sports teams and elected officials. But while a lot of people have had issues with Cuomo, we are not willing to trade him. He belongs to New York, and we need him to stay here.

I think that the Rats understand that *regardless* of who they nominate the chances of beating Trump are just about zero.
Great ‘leadership’. Number 1 in cases, number 1 in deaths!! Great job Guv...
The whole article is a fantasy because Cuomo in fact is a blame everybody else else mess. And the article says this about him:
“Being a moderate who tried to turn left to appease powerful New York progressives left him with few friends, so he instead governed with an iron fist. Which is great in a crisis, but not so good when running for president.”
He ain’t no moderate, he is a far left thug, always has been, and nothing about New York politics explains why he alienated everyone in a solidly Democrat state.
Projection is the only language the last matters. And that he believes their own lies. No wonder Michael Savage called it a mental disorder.
” Second, former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont would fight any late entry he would make into the race for the Democratic presidential nomination”
...I doubt Biden would interrupt his rice pudding to fight anything.
He is not the American’s governor! Live in the state of New
York and see how he is taking this state to it knees. The people better wake up!
Trumps failures? Is he governor of New York as well? You know, the state that has almost half of all the infected people in the entire country?
Oh yes, let’s have a debate over making the entire USA like New York State. Particularly from a tax standpoint. I’m sure that will work out REAL well for the Dems.
Isn’t Coumo the same governor who didn’t realize he had 15,000 ventilators sitting in storage at the same time he was complaining that people would die because of a lack of ventilators ??
Entirely insincere manipulative piece.
New Yorkers ..especially in upstate.. love those high taxes.
If he comes to Florida, we will quarantine him for 14 days.
The first paragraph is a real howler. All of this about America’s Governor who proclaimed that conservatives and gun owners are not welcome in his state.
Susan Del Percio, former special adviser to Gov. Andrew Cuomo
“Special”. Yeah, sure, I’ll bet.
Excuse me while I throw up. Did she "service* Cuomo while she was working for him too?
What planet is she living on?
Thanks to his excellent leadership during the overwhelming health crisis caused by the coronavirus
Riiight!
Is that why New York State has nearly half the coronavirus cases in the entire country? Far ahead of any other state? And has handled it far worse than anyone else? So bad in fact that even a deep blue state like Rhode Island is fighting hard to keep New Yorkers away?
LOL. Talk about a “gaffe” being defined as unintentionally saying something that is true. The entire article, including Trump’s “failures” and Cuomo’s “success”, are a 100% media fantasy that the rest of the country doesn’t share.
SE Florida has the highest Wuhan infestation, its also
the favorite place where New Yorkers go to in Florida.
Look at the statistical exodus of former New Yorkers since
Mario Jr. became Gov. Amazing this high tax guy with the worst problems of blight in up state New York can run for
higher office.
He of saying “America was never Great”. What a campaign slogan. He is ugly to look at, has no charisma, has a dumb brother, his voice and accent are grating to me who
grew up in NYC. If Cuomo does for America what he did
to New York, its depression time.
America’s Governor?
That would be James Conley Justice of West Virginia.
The man who responded to the Chinese Communist Virus by getting a factory in his state opened up to manufacture Hydroxychloroquine.
It’s been weeks. How many Governors followed suit?
NBC News? Can you imagine NBC ever allowing a Trump supporter to write a similar article? Never
What Hogwash. What Bullshit. 🤮
