    1. CNN Hey Chris, Forbes from Australia here. You guys are doing a great job, your brother is a legend and I watch from afar how you brilliantly hold the Trump admin to account. Keep going, best wishes to you, your brother, your family and the New Yorkers. And, if you guys ever need to bail on what goes down over there, Australia will welcome you with open arms. Best wishes dudes.

    2. CA Governor doing a great job. Governor Cuomo is AMAZING!! I Believe he would be an awesome President! He makes me feel safe, he gives me hope. I would love to see him run for President 💗🤗🙏🏼 Get well soon Chris!! 💗🙏🏼

    3. Well considering my “Governor” Brian Kemp just found out about asymptomatic spreaders less than a week ago, where as I had already knew in March, I’d say quite terribly.

    1. You won’t become President by playing video games. It will take lots of studying and broccoli. Maybe some kale.

    1. Alice’s Rabbit that’s right . There you’re a hypocrite. Witch makes you a racist weak person. What it must be like to be so hateful and weak?

    2. @Damn Yankee
      Oh, so you are “Buddy Guy’s” other troll account. How many other accounts do you have in this thread?

    1. Yeah😂 reminds me of Kanye and Trump… also how the nation couldn’t fathom our TV dad Bill Cosby capable rape🙄
      #daddyissues

    1. CNN knows that Cuomo or Biden’s VP may be the only democrat who could stop a Bernie-ally like Ro Khanna in the 2024 or 2028 democratic presidential nomination. .

    2. How is he doing his job right?? He also delayed taking action…. NY is digging mass graves now…

  1. 05:55 – 05:21

    Sounds like an interrogation 😂

    Ask him again tomorrow just to make sure

    1. obama spread his legs for chinese hitler Xi for 8 years. trump said china was the #1 Enemy and he was right ! ill vote for the most Anti C.C.P. candidate and so will most people. china was cool before Xi but now its like North Korea ! (and using bioterror weapons on us)

    2. The current President is insane & nobody seems to care……what’s a little dementia on the sundae??

    1. @Dearly Diane
      It won’t be Biden. Why do you think that Obama has not endorsed him? He knows something you don’t. He will endorse the winner at the convention in August. Even Trump has mentioned this. He knows that Biden is a smoke screen to throw Trump’s campaign strategy off, but Trump’s on to them. Can’t stump the Trump. He knows it will be Trump vs Hillary 2.0. and he’s letting Obama know, that he knows. Trump is always ten steps ahead of them.

    1. look at all the sexist, racist Bernie Bros that harass women online, because they are Incels, while Jamal, Darius, and Daeqwan go out with all the girls they had crushes on. Biden 2020

  2. God no. Please god no. He’s doing a good job during corona that’s it. This emergency leader thing we have for people is nuts.

    1. Good job according to millennials = Gives the daily update and says things are improving, when they aren’t.

    2. New York has 1/3rd of every corona case and death in the us…

      Libtards: Cuomo is doing an amazing job…

    1. This is to occupy Dem minds and let them forget that they are forced to vote for the loser Biden.

    2. CNN knows that Cuomo or Biden’s VP may be the only democrat who could stop a Bernie-ally like Ro Khanna in the 2024 or 2028 democratic presidential nomination. .

  3. How does it makes sense Biden is 77
    That means when is first “4 years” end, he’ll be 81 ……. if he get re-elect at the end of his second terms he’ll be 85

    The guy is already senile

    What would it be at 85 ???????

    1. Big ears Osama has a secret weapon that’s funny too maybe its Vladimir. Tell Vladimir I’ll have more flexibility after the election

  4. When governors are neck deep in running their own state the last thing on their mind is a presidential campaign. Especially when asked by their little brother. Albeit, a big little brother 😊.

    1. Cuomo is as Bought & Owned and Neoliberal as they come. He’s a tool of monopolies, police union lobbies & private prisons, and the wealthy & lobbyists who fund his campaigns for Mayor.

    2. @ScootMagoot46Good. I hope Biden does too so he has a War Chest to beat Trump. Democrats have had to sacrifice some integrity to win elections after SCOTUS turned money into free speech. But the Senate needs to be flipped for a good 4-6 years to publicly fund elections.

  5. CNN: look, another opportunist corporatist establishment tool for president (mouth watering, 🤑)!
    Me: 🤮

    1. chris is such a fucking hack who has been wrong about literally every single thing in the last 2 decades. mind blowing that he still has a job

    2. CNN knows that Cuomo or Biden’s VP may be the only democrat who could stop a Bernie-ally like Ro Khanna in the 2024 or 2028 democratic presidential nomination. .

  6. He says he’s promised that when he became governor that he wouldn’t run for president because he doesn’t want it all about him. So much respect for him. He’ll keep my home state safe and I’m happy about that 🙂

    1. Dude is a bought & owned, neoliberal hack. He’s been horrible for New York over the years. Jesus Christ.

  7. Leave Governor Cuomo alone, he officially said he does not want to ever run for president. I am from New York, I love Governor Cuomo.
