In a trip to New York, President Trump claimed that Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), thought to be a potential 2020 White House candidate, had once told him he would “never run for president against” him, the New York Times reports.
Said Trump: “Oh, please do it.”
Shane Goldmacher: “I have asked five senior Cuomo advisers if it is true that Cuomo once told Trump he would never run against him, as Trump said today. None of them has responded.”
