President Trump said Monday that Gov. Andrew Cuomo would be a stronger Democratic opponent than Joe Biden
President Donald Trump said Monday that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, whose response to the Empire State's coronavirus outbreak has elevated his national profile, would be a stronger Democratic opponent for November's election than Joe Biden.
Trump added: "Now, it's every poll that says I'm going to win, because you say [Cuomo's] gotten good marks, but I've gotten great marks on what we've done with respect to this. I've gotten great marks and even from almost every Democratic governor, so I've gotten great marks also, but we want to always make sure we have a great president and somebody that's capable. I personally don't think Joe Biden is capable.
“So I mean, one of the things — and I think he’d admit this — one of the reasons he’s been successful, if I said, 'No, we’re not giving you four hospitals and we’re not giving you four medical centers and we’re not sending you a ship' then he’s got to, and we didn’t give them thousands of ventilators, by the way, and millions of masks, because we’ve sent them a lot of stuff. Well, one of the reasons he’s successful is because we’ve helped make him successful," Trump said.
“My plea is, and pardon me if I’m a little emotional, but I’m living with this 24 hours a day and I’m seeing people die all around me. The science people, the government professionals have to stand up and look the president in the eye and say this is not a political exercise,” Cuomo said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” when asked what his plea would be to the president with regards to New York's need for more equipment. “This is not press relations. It's not optics. The tsunami is coming.
