His handling of this crisis is what the country as a whole needs in their leadership.

Dude is making common sense here while others are pandering to their base still while people are dying.

Why didnt he run for President?

Cause of Biden

Doesn't have a potential national base

Popularity in NY State is not what it was

We need to stop lionizing every civil servant who has a competent disposition, Cuomo, has plenty of things that while maybe don't exactly disqualify him from the presidency, certainly don't help. Better than Trump is a low, low bar to clear, tempting as it may be.

He’s a bully who either strong arms or connives to get his ways.

He legit hates progressives but will tolerate them if necessary. He has gone out there way to put his foot on their neck if they ever disobey him

On the low he is just a more competent Trump and that personality quirk is why they can’t get along. They both know exactly who each other are

Cuomo doesn't have a national base. Biden fills up the experienced moderate lane. Also, Cuomo is not popular overall in New York State.

The only reason why he's still governor is because he's a Democrat (a Republican isn't winning the governorship anytime soon) and the fact that his father was a beloved governor (Mario Cuomo). In 2018, he won the primary because nobody with political name experience & recognition ran against him. Cynthia Nixon is just an actress :mjlol:.

didn't have a lane and said he wouldn't run(for what that's worth)

I'm glad we have him, a lot of states don't have a governor on his level.


not his problem alone but idk how we're going to revive our economy... it's only been a week but most Americans live week to week


he's probably the most competent and ambitious governors NY has had in recent memory

All of these. Just a glance at how he's dealt with the MTA in the Tri-State Area alone will give you an idea of why a lot of New Yorkers don't like him during normal times.

The most recent example of that being undermining the head of NYC Transit to the point where dude quit. Twice.
