Could Joe Biden benefit from a little Cuomentum?
People close to Gov. Andrew Cuomo certainly think so and are engaging in a furious behind-the-scenes campaign to tout his leadership during the COVID-19 outbreak and appeal to Team Biden, insiders say.
Biden bundlers have told me that they are feeling pressure from Cuomos orbit to, at the very least, have the vice president bring him up in complimentary ways regarding his handling of the crisis, said one New York Democratic operative regularly in touch with big Biden donors. They seek to keep the dust up and generate a positive whisper campaign potentially even netting Cuomo a spot on the 2020 Democratic ticket with Biden.
For his part, the governor has strenuously denied any interest in the job. I dont want to be vice president, he told Albany radio host Alan Chartock last week.
A former senior Cuomo staffer dismissed that, telling The Post the 62-year-old Cuomo definitely has national aspirations and would jump at being Bidens running mate.
If given the opportunity there is no question in my mind he would want to go for that, the ex-staffer said. This is the Cuomo playbook. Keep out there, publicly deny, work behind the scenes.
Most party bigs still consider the odds of Biden tapping Cuomo as slim. It would create a geographically limited ticket with two northeasterners, and Biden has publicly promised to nominate a woman for the job which opinion polls say was a popular move.
Cuomo's star status rises over coronavirus response Yet the Dem insider said the bundlers a rarified circle of mega-donors who can also corral big bucks from others were being hit up to position Cuomo for the veep spot now, or put him in play for the 2024 presidential race.

I’d love to see Pence debate “The Ventilator” Cuomo.
I’ve seen the nipple pics. How does he look in a skirt? Oh, no - more pantsuits?
You said I said I was going to pick a women? I never said that! You're a lying dog faced pony solider. I never said my VP was going to be a women.
Sure, he would only have to be Vice President Trump for a few months, LOL.
Two white liberal legacies from the Northeast, hardly a balanced ticket.
You only saw the nipple piercings....you didn’t see the ‘other’ piercings.
lol sorry wrong sex and color ! NEXT!
The Democrat Party................Satan’s best tool.
*a woman
Sounds like the name of a 70s cop show.
Oh, he’s a minority woman now? Way to go, Andrew!
Cuomo would melt like butter under close investigation.
I don’t know why the Dims think he is attractive even to those dimwits.
He is a loser. Go for it, Andy
Cuomo’s state was the least prepared for the Covid-19. Democrats love to pick incompetents. DeBlasio is responsible for the spread of this virus all across the Northeast.
If it is one thing Biden knows, it is a liar. It shows the condition of the Country that a son of a bitch such that can even run for public office.
Sheeeyit. That's the only play in the entire demonicRAT playbook. Say one thing and do the other.
Great. Cuomo would be filling the Lincoln Bedroom with hoarded toilet paper and ventilators waiting for the Apex.
Yay, just what young Berniebot Socialist democrats want- two old white guys, including one from New York, on the ticket.
The idiocy implicit therein defies all rational optimism.
