Andrew Cuomo hints running for a fourth term

[LoneStarDem]

Sounds like he's probably running for a 4th term & do something that NY St voters denied the late Daddy Cuomo.... winning a 4th term in 2022 & IF he does pull the trigger & completes it, it'll make him the first NY St Governor to serve 16 years.

Remember, the late Nelson Rockefeller (R) was the last NY St Governor elected to 4 terms.

Since then:
Nelson Rockefeller (R): 49th Governor from January 1st, 1973 to December 18th, 1973: resigned & later became VP under POTUS Gerald Ford in 1974.

Malcolm Wilson (R): 50th Governor from December 18th, 1973 to December 31st, 1974: defeated for election bid for full 4-year term in 1974.

Hugh Carey (D): 51st Governor from January 1st, 1975 to December 31st, 1982: didn't seek reelection to 3rd term in 1982.

Mario Cuomo (D): 52nd Governor from January 1st, 1983 to December 31st, 1994: defeated for reelection bid in 1994.

George Pataki (R); 53rd Governor from January 1st, 1995 to December 31st, 2006: didn't seek reelection in 2006.

Eliot Spitzer (D): 54th Governor from January 1st, 2007 to March 17th, 2008: resigned in disgrace due to prostitution scandal.

David Paterson (D): 55th Governor from March 17th, 2008 to December 31st, 2010: first African American Governor in NY St history; didn't seek election bid for full 4-year term in 2010.

Andrew Cuomo (D): 56th Governor since January 1st, 2011.

Hochul should run for the United States Senate in 2022 to succeed Crying Chuck.

I have no problems with Cuomo, I like him actually, but I want him to retire just for the fun of the primary.

You know he's NOT going to buckle under pressure to satisfy people like you. The way I see it, it appears Cuomo is likely winning reelection to a 4th term in 2022.

I know, that is exactly why I do NOT want him to run, so we can have a competitive primary.

Primaries could get ugly & lead to tension & chaos as what happened to the TX Dems in 1978 when then-State AG John Hill (D) defeated then-TX Governor Dolph Briscoe (D) on May 6th, 1978's Dem Primary.... the Briscoe supporters including some of the Briscoe family members bolted to back Clements (R), who won the November GE.
