New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo emphatically ruled out speculation that he could replace Joe Biden on the Democratic presidential ticket or join the ticket as a vice presidential candidate.
That is on one hand flattering," Cuomo said. "On the other hand, it is irrelevant.
He brushed off rumors that some Democratic insiders believe he could be a stronger candidate than Biden to oust President Trump in November.
Im not running for president. Im not running for vice president, he said. I am staying here.
Cuomo has received rave reviews for his handling of the coronavirus crisis in New York. Biden has already vowed to pick a woman as his running mate, but that hasnt stopped buzz about Cuomo being tapped for the No. 2 slot.

Well this answers two questions that kept popping up in the primary forum. Maybe some can give it a rest now.

(115,829 posts)It's in the same very dumb category as "drafting" Michelle Obama, a notion that has been often flogged here despite her repeated insistence that she has no interest in ever running for public office.

(6,212 posts)Dr. Fauci joked about Brad Pitt playing him so next it will be Pitt for POTUS.

He's been pretty solid on keeping his word.
It will be interesting to see what he says in 2022 if he runs for another term.

(2,315 posts)Besides being far more intelligent than The Dumpster, Governor Cuomo also knows his history.
... from the Sherman pledge, a remark made by American Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman when he was being considered as a possible Republican candidate for the presidential election of 1884.
Thank you, Governor, for the amazing job you are doing leading New York.

Snipped from Wikipedia:
In the wake of the attacks, Giuliani was hailed by many for his leadership during the crisis. When polled just six weeks after the attack Giuliani received a 79% approval rating among New York City voters, a dramatic increase over the 36% rating he had received a year earlier seven years into his administration.[23][24]
In his public statements, Giuliani mirrored the emotions of New Yorkers after the September 11 attacks: shock, sadness, anger, resolution to rebuild, and the desire for justice to be done to those responsible. "Tomorrow New York is going to be here", he said. "And we're going to rebuild, and we're going to be stronger than we were before...I want the people of New York to be an example to the rest of the country, and the rest of the world, that terrorism can't stop us."[25] Giuliani was widely praised by some for his close involvement with the rescue and recovery efforts, but others, including many police, rescue workers, and families of WTC victims argue that "Giuliani has exaggerated the role he played after the terrorist attacks, casting himself as a hero for political gain."[26]
As an avid and public fan of the New York Yankees, who won four World Series Championships during his time as mayor, Giuliani was frequently sighted at Yankee games, often accompanied by his son. On September 21, 2001, the first game was played in New York City after the attacks, with the New York Mets at home facing the Atlanta Braves. Despite his being a Yankee fan, the crowd cheered for him and for his leadership over the preceding days.[27]
The term "America's Mayor", now in common usage among Giuliani supporters, was coined by Oprah Winfrey at a 9/11 memorial service held at Yankee Stadium on September 23, 2001.[18][28]
