An attendee asked Cuomo directly if he or his team was in conversation with the White House about how Trump might influence the race. Cuomo didn’t directly deny it this time.
“Let’s put it this way: I knew the president very well,” Cuomo said. “I believe there’s a big piece of him that actually wants redemption in New York. He feels that he was rejected by New York. We voted for Hillary Clinton. Bill de Blasio took his name off things. So I believe there will be opportunities to actually cooperate with him. I also believe that he’s not going to want to fight with me in New York if he can avoid it.”
“We can minimize (the Sliwa) vote, because he’ll never be a serious candidate,” Cuomo told the crowd at a Hamptons fundraiser Saturday, according to audio obtained by Playbook. “And Trump himself, as well as top Republicans, will say the goal is to stop Mamdani. And you’ll be wasting your vote on Sliwa. So I feel good about that.”
I believe that’s what they were sarcastically saying.
Hey guys, when it was your candidate you said “blue no matter who”. Now it’s a further left candidate. Can you please continue lecturing me about “blue no matter who”?
Or similar. I’m not a wordologist, that’s just how I understood it.
I would like to believe you are right and I misread sarcasm. Unfortunately they will need to clarify because I’ve seen too many other similar comments without any sarcasm in there at all.
