Buzz grows around Cuomo as Biden's attorney general pick

Axios ^ | Sun., Oct. 11, 2020 | Buzz grows around Cuomo as Biden's attorney general pick

[Jemian]

Democrats are so convinced that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo could be considered for Joe Biden's attorney general that aides at the National Governors Association, which Cuomo chairs, are looking into contingencies for replacing him, two sources familiar with the situation tell Axios.

What we're hearing: Some Democratic donors in Cuomo's orbit tell Axios that the governor is being pushed for the job and that Biden would consider him, based on their long friendship.

Why it matters: The AG would be among the most politically sensitive — and high-profile — jobs in a Biden administration.

The Justice Department will face pressure to investigate Trump-era officials — and perhaps Trump himself — for wrongdoing in office. Biden's AG also would manage the federal response to police violence, social unrest and systemic racism, and the AG could seek to use federal powers to blunt state abortion restrictions.

Great! Now, New Yorkers will definitely vote for Biden just to get rid of Cuomo. I thought that after the Jews were rounded up, Trump stood a slight chance of carrying the state.

[KarlInOhio]

Has he decided that spreading the plague isn't enough and he's going to have to go full "Janet Reno" on nursing homes across the country?

Too bad Ted Bundy isn’t around. Would’ve made a great secretary of health.

[lgjhn23]

Leave it to the left to pick a mass murderer for AG.

[jimtorr]

If not Ted Bundy, how about his cousin Al Bundy?

[gundog]

Hillary at Defense, Cuomo at Justice...Is he campaigning for Trump?

[gasport]

Which is worse?
A Cornuto as AG or on SCotUS

[fieldmarshaldj]

Killer Cuomo to be Torquemada in the Plugs/Whore Stalinazi regime ?

[Meatspace]

When Trump wins it will be the best day ever.

Lots and lots of cheering and better yet laughing at Democrats.

[plain talk]

I wonder who Biden would pick for Climate Change czar. Probably make that a cabinet position.

Let’s be real, NY will never vote GOP for President. They’ll be lucky if they ever get RINO Governor again. Trump did carry the white vote there, which was good for under 40 percent statewide. RI is a much better target

[SmokingJoe]

Counting the chickens much?
Its like making a show of spending "your" billions of dollars when you don't even have a thousand dollars in your pocket.

[griswold3]

Nope! Already promised DeWine (OH)

[mrsmith]

More importantly...
Who does Kamala want?

[montag813]

If Biden and Cuomo are our reality on Jan 21st, Bolivia will be looking much better.

Greta would be a shoo-in...shes known world wide!.... (Al Gore would receive her pay for his light bill till she reaches the age of 21 as compensation for him dropping out for the position though)

[Trumpnado2016]

If we had a competent AG, Cuomo would already be under indictment for all of those intentional Nursing Home deaths.

[ConservativeInPA]

An AG that murdered thousands of seniors. Yeah, that will work.
