New York Times: “Mr. Cuomo has increasingly framed his agenda as a part of the national fight with Mr. Trump, heightening questions about his own ambitions, even as Mr. Cuomo has said unequivocally that he will serve out a third term.”
“Those who know Mr. Cuomo best say he almost certainly would not run if Mr. Biden does. But if the former vice president passes? Mr. Cuomo could at least be tempted by a field he sees as less accomplished than himself.”
“Still, most say it is hard to see him taking the plunge. For one thing, he craves control of every situation, gaming out moves and countermoves to cover all eventualities. Presidential campaigns are fundamentally uncontrollable. For another, Mr. Cuomo’s dislike of the basics of retail politics has been a long-running joke among his campaign aides, past and present.”
