Andrew Cuomo s uncertain future adds fuel to a generational upheaval in New York CNN 14 hrs ago © State of New York
The last time New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo s name was on a primary ballot, in September 2018, more than 65% of Democratic voters backed him for a third term. In a defiant news conference the day after the vote, Cuomo brushed back suggestions that a progressive wave was sweeping the state. Not even a ripple, he said.
But as the results came in on election night, they arrived with a warning and a signal that the political dynamics in a state Cuomo has ruled now for more than a decade were beginning to shift under his feet. A slate of progressive challengers in state Senate races nearly wiped out a band of incumbent Democrats who had for years, up until a few months before the primaries, caucused with Republicans as part of a power-sharing deal that assured a GOP majority and kept the legislature at an impasse.
