New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo emphatically ruled out speculation that he could replace Joe Biden on the Democratic presidential ticket — or join the ticket as a vice presidential candidate.

“That is on one hand flattering," Cuomo said. "On the other hand, it is irrelevant.”

He brushed off rumors that some Democratic insiders believe he could be a stronger candidate than Biden to oust President Trump in November.

“I’m not running for president. I’m not running for vice president,” he said. “I am staying here.”

Cuomo is going to run the state into the ground then when the teat is dry, ride off into the sunset.

Cuomo knows he’ll lose no matter what year he runs.

Well, Joe already said he’s picking a chick for VP, so can’t blame Andy for not wanting transgender surgery.

Just as I predicted. He has his hands full in the biggest virus hotspot in the nation. How would it look if he suddenly bailed out to start campaigning for President?

Perhaps Hillary suggested Veep could be hazardous to Andy’s health.

cuomo is no fool: he knows that President Trump is unbeatable, and in 2024 he can waltz into the Dem nomination and face a non-incumbent Pub ...

No, he’s just playing it coy. At the right time, at the brokered convention, they will demand he step in after Biden confirms his dementia, and he will, reluctantly of course, agree.

With DemonRats, it’s always the opposite of what they say. But in this case, Hillary may have warned Cuomo to stay the hell out of it.

“How would it look if he suddenly bailed out to start campaigning for President?”

yet another excellent reason it makes no sense for Cuomo to run this year ...

Smart guy. Losing to Trump would wreck his career.

What’s the federal election filing deadlines for candidates? If Joe is incapacitated after then, he stays on the ballot away and Democrats can’t replace him.

Any prominent RAT with presidential aspirations such as CuoMORON and Gavin GRUEsom will sit this one out and wait for 2024.

he’s following in his father’s footsteps. Mario could not bring himself to ever run for president.

Cuomo always wanted to be governor. He doesn’t want any other position.
