What do you guys think about Cuomo in 2024? Assuming Biden doesn't run

[Alhena]

I think he'd be a strong counter to Trump, and a poll showed him leading other possible candidates:

1. What about Kamala Harris, seeing as how she'd already be VP?

[Alhena]

5. I'm open to her as well, but if we're facing Trump I think Cuomo would be stronger

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. We won't be facing Trump. He'll be dead or in jail or somewhere

that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the US.

[PatSeg]

26. Yeah, there won't be a Trump candidacy in 2024

He won't get the kind of backing he got four years ago and his many legal problems will overwhelm him. After this, he should be a broken man with no real prospects of any kind.

If Joe doesn't run in 2024, it should be Kamala Harris.

[Blasphemer]

13. Well... he can be her VP... nt

[NurseJackie]

18. Or Pete.

[Mike 03]

17. We won't be facing Trump.

He's about to be indicted.

Secondly, considering his mental and physical decline, even if he survives four more years he will not be in any shape to run for president. He'll be babbling, drooling and peeing in his pants.

[2naSalit]

38. +1

[Spider Jerusalem]

2. Kamala Harris will be best-placed to be the candidate in 2024 if Biden doesn't run (n/t)

[CatMor]

3. I prefer it be Kamala Harris.

[ARPad95]

4. He truly likes being governor of New York and doesn't have aspirations (currently) of running for

president.

[Zoonart]

6. Already prepared to leap frog Kamala?

WOW.

[tblue37]

7. What's wrong with Kamala Harris?

[sweetloukillbot]

14. I've got a pretty good idea nt

[tblue37]

20. Maybe two ideas.

[LakeArenal]

8. Quit just quit.

Biden is not a lame duck from day one. Just quit.

It would be Harris anyway. Geez

[dixiechiken1]

9. Uhhhhh... How about Kamala?!?

Just sayin'...

[DarthDem]

10. Nope

Enabled a bunch of renegade "Democrats" for years in their ridiculous movement to caucus with Republicans in the NY State Senate, preventing any truly liberal legislation being passed. Finally, there was an uprising and these fake "Demos" were voted out of power, but it was no thanks to Gov. Cuomo. He has some positive qualities including being a good leader when he's inspired, but pass.

[Mike 03]

11. Biden and Harris will still be major players in 2024, barring some

disaster.

[AleksS]

15. If Kamala's looking for a running mate to be her VP, I could see it.

But to nominate a white guy when she's Biden's current VP? That would be suicide.

[idziak4ever1234]

16. Michelle Obama!

[marie999]

27. She should have been the Democratic nominee in 2016.

[beastie boy]

19. As a VP to Kamala? Maybe... But I prefer Biden/Harris

[liberal_mama]

21. I live in NY state and love Cuomo, but I don't think he wants to be president

I just read his new book, American Crisis, and he said that when he is no longer governor, he just wants to go fishing and enjoy his daughters. I hope he runs for president someday because I think he'd be a great POTUS. His father, Governor Mario Cuomo, also declined to run for president. He also turned down the Supreme Court seat that ended up going to RBG.

[nolabear]

22. KA-MA-LA.

Geez...

[Brainfodder]

23. Focus on MID-TERMS instead?

[AkFemDem]

24. Uh no. Obviously it'll be Kamala Harris, as it should be.

[luv2fly]

25. Good grief

Let's put this one behind us first.

[gibraltar72]

28. NO!

[beachbumbob]

29. Laughable to think trump will even be in America in 2024

[GoCubsGo]

30. Meh. And, Trump can't run from prison.

Which is where he is headed.

[roamer65]

31. Uh...let's try to survive the next couple of years...k?

Next 2 months are gonna be hell and then more COVID.

[LizBeth]

32. I am going to take at least a week off before I jump into 2024.

[whttevrr]

33. Absolutely not.

Guaranteed loss.

[Silver1]

34. Absolutely!

I think he would be very good at undoing the divide Trump has created. He's so reasonable, and rational, and calming ... he is politically savvy and also has a heart. The antidote to republican rabies.

[LiberalBrooke]

35. Kamala Harris definitely.

Why would you look outside of the White House for a male anyway?

[Fiendish Thingy]

36. Harris is first in line; Trump better be in jail or at least indicted by 2024.

There many other potential candidates better than Cuomo IMO.

Whitmer
Warren
And even AOC, who will be old enough by 2024 (yeah, I know...)

[Todd79]

37. Why don't we just hope for good health of our next president and that he is able to be successful?

Seriously... this talk of 2024 is kind of stupid. We are tying Biden’s hands before he’s even taken the oath of office.

Let’s just hope that he retains his good health physically and mentally and that he is in good enough shape to run for re-election. Biden knows what he is up against and the stress and is prepared.

The best scenario would be that he sets up Harris for a run in 2028.

In 8 years, Mark Kelly would have the experience to mount a challenge as well, and though everyone is tired of white guys, he has the potential to grow into a political force.

[Raine]

39. Ugh, no 👎 nt

[DeminPennswoods]

40. You should probably read the New Yorker mag

profile on Cuomo first.
