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.
Im not running for president. Im not running for vice president, he said. I am staying here.

And they’re likely to get more stuck as the primaries continue, regardless of the format, since Biden’s now sure to run up a majority of the delegates, giving him an iron clad win. Now he’ll either have to withdraw voluntarily or suffer such a serious health crisis that he’s physically unable to run.
Yep. It would look horrible. He would be deserting his people in their time of need.
“...Yep, he wants to put this NY train wreck behind him....”
Yeah, the RAT VP candidate won’t come from a DEM-DESTROYED city. Track record even the most stupid voters can figure out.
Who wears them better?
By Mid October Trump will have prepared campaign adds, and anyone with a whiff of suggesting or ordering the use of hydroxychloroquine or hoarding supplies from their own citizenry will not want to be running for office.
Cuomo will sit this one out.
Who can the Democrats sacrifice if Biden keels over?
Back to Sanders and finish off his movement?
Hillary, the Third Dyke?
They should run whoever’s career they want to kill...who also isn’t canny enough politically to realize what a career killer the run will be.
Is that a trick question?
“No, hes 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.”
Might happen, but unlikely. When Biden goes into the convention with a majority of the delegates, having won them in the primaries, he’s got the nomination unless he either voluntarily withdraws, suffers a hopeless health crisis, or is assassinated, none of which is likely to happen.
Thank you God!
Well, that lets Stacey Abrams out -- he said chick, not "butterball".
The Mob pays better and with less scrutiny.
I'm sure the Democrats are capable of ensuring that either one of those two options can be arranged.
Maybe if he doesn't withdraw voluntarily, he will suddenly be diagnosed with a case of COD-19 and, sadly, will succumb to it because of his advanced age. Then the Democrats can blame Trump for Biden's passing because Trump botched the handling of the pandemic. And then the Dems could use that as an excuse to start Impeachment 2.0 just in time for the election.
I know that sounds crazy, but then again we ARE talking about Democrats.
Now some Freepers are going to go back to obsessing about Cankles or the Mooch.
Como knows to do otherwise would be to face Arkancide.
Huomo’s a Demwitz
Only his/her hairdresser knows for sure
Man, if that’s the case, this campaign season is going to be epic.
You have raised an excellent point; I believe there is a mechanism for the party to replace a candidate with another.
So FREEPERS who are familiar with elections laws: can the DNC replace Biden with someone else even up to the day of the election?
Also, remember when we vote for President/Vice President we are actually voting for the electors.
Translation: There’s a lot of dirt on him that he doesn’t want to come up.
I dont know. His father wouldnt run either - supposedly theres a lot of mafia stuff that might come out, and I think his brother is pretty corrupt. Who knows? Maybe hes just playing hard to get,
I dont like him or anything about him, but Im a former New Yorker and I dont know what current ones think.
