[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is probably why Cuomo didn’t get an appointment in the Biden Administration. He really wanted one to get away from his issues in NYC.[/quote]

Oh, I think he wanted more than an appointment.

Think about it:  when this all began (pandemic, press conferences) the Democratic nomination was not a done deal.  Cuomo has proven to be a master self promoter. Also, a little delusional.  I've thought from the time his profile began rising that he thought he would be drafted to be the Dem nominee.  After all, Biden was not winning at all until Cluyburn stepped in.  He had a horrible debate early on and, until Clyburn's endorsement, there was no momentum at all.  Do you really think Bernie would get the nomination?   Warren?  Buttigeig?  Harris was toast by that time.

So, I think Cuomo looked at the field and, with his ego, thought he would be drafted.  Or, at least get the veep nod.  Of course, once Biden said he was going to pick a woman-and likely a woman of color--that kind of deflated that hope.

Just my opinion.  But, think about this:  Cuomo began press conference on March 2 and had one pretty much every day until June 19

Joe Biden cinched the nomination on June 6.   He had earlier announced he would pick a woman for veep--but, maybe, Cuomo was not so sure.  [/quote]
