He has been a reassuring presence throughout this crisis. I admit that as a resident of NY, I was not a fan of his prior to the crisis. Do you all think the Democratic party will, after things calm down, consider Cuomo as a viable alternative to Biden? |

Too late now. Joe is pretty much locked in, bar a very bad gaff about something. Mario? Maybe next time.

That would be nice, but it is too late in the game. I can def see it in 2024, if he has any interest and has continued to be a strong leader. |

What is his experience besides being a politician? He seems to have no understanding of the country outside of major urban areas. I do wish the democrats would actually start looking for worthwhile candidates in the future.

New York State is far from strictly urban. It's actually quite diverse with many rural areas. |

I do wish the democrats would actually start looking for worthwhile candidates in the future. I think he has at least as much 'understanding' as the current POTUS, who mostly understands REAL estate. Cuomo's resume is not shabby. Cuomo worked two years as a New York assistant district attorney and briefly for the law firm of Blutrich, Falcone & Miller. He became active in the policy areas of homelessness and state housing policy during the 1980s and 1990s. He later created Housing Enterprise for the Less Privileged (HELP), a nonprofit organization focusing on homeless initiatives. Cuomo was appointed chairman of the New York City Homeless Commission during the administration of New York City Mayor David Dinkins from 1990 to 1993. Prior to ascending to the state's top post, Cuomo spent time at the federal level, serving as assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development from 1993 to 1997 and as secretary of HUD from 1997 to 2001 under President Bill Clinton. Returning to the state level, Cuomo served as New York attorney general from 2006 to 2010.[1] Prior to being elected governor of New York, he was the state's attorney general from 2007 to 2010. all added up, that is three years city level experience, 8 years fed level experience, and 4 years state level experience, not including the past 7 years as a state governor. Given a choice of POTUS who only knows politics, or working within the constitutional framework of government and one who knows NOTHING about it, only working as a civilian BOSS with very little accountability or framework, my preference would be the former. |
