New York Metropolis mayoral front-runner Andrew Cuomo has vowed, if elected, to steer the struggle in opposition to President Trump, insisting he’ll “spend eight years in Washington” in a bid to assist Democrats retake the Home.
The previous governor instructed Politico he deliberate to wage the nationwide marketing campaign in opposition to the Trump administration — despite the fact that the 2024 presidential election marked the closest New York has ever come to turning pink in nearly 4 many years.
“I would spend eight years in Washington — go to that US Conference of Mayors, go to the National Governors Association,” Cuomo mentioned as he detailed his anti-Trump technique if he’s elected to run the Huge Apple.
Cuomo, who’s reportedly embroiled in a Division of Justice probe over his dealing with of nursing house deaths throughout COVID, famous he would house in particularly on Trump’s deliberate Medicaid cuts.
“He’s cutting Medicaid. Medicaid is not a blue-city, blue-state situation. That is in every state. That is a lot of red congressional districts. And he could lose the House on cutting Medicaid if you organized it and got it moving,” Cuomo mentioned.
“You’re going to have to be a spokesperson, advocate, organizer,” he added. “This is what Medicaid means in Mississippi, this is what Medicaid means in Texas … And you organize that, they don’t have a lot of congressional seats left to lose.”
Cuomo made the remarks after being requested what leverage he believed he’d have in opposition to the White Home if elected.
