New York now has the longest serving gubernatorial duo

[President Johnson]

After Governor Gary Herbert, Republican of Utah, left office today, Andrew Cuomo has officially become the longest serving incumbent governor in the United States. He took office on January 1, 2011. Cuomo is also the last governor from the generation of 2010, next in line is Jay Inslee, who became governor of Washington in 2013. I also noticed that simultaneously New York's Kathy Hochul is now the sitting lieutenant governor with longest tenure, having been sworn in January 1, 2015. There are some other deputies, like Karyn Polito of Massachusetts, who took office a few days later. I think it's interesting they both hold these positions, despite coming to office four years apart.

And it's entirely possible, if not likely, they will stay on for another term in two years. Anyway, these two are the very best gubernatorial duo (I know, I know, unpopular opinion). Nevertheless, congrats King Andy and Queen Kathy!

He's harmed New York more than Osama bin Laden did.

I do not endorse this statement

Come on, bin Ladin was a terrorist who deliberately killed thousands of people. Cuomo may have done some mistakes during the pandemic, like many elected officials have, but I doubt he deliberately wanted people to die. You may not like him, but he's not a killer.

[Suburbia]

New York is stuck with Cuomo until 2026; ironically, the New York Yankees are cursed whenever a Cuomo is in office.

From 1983 to 1994, the Yankees never made the playoffs.

Yankees fans would have to hope for 2027 with another governor or Biden/Harris still in the White House.

I have seen many incredibly ignorant posts in my 16 years here and this one easily makes the top 5.

More people have died via his Covid handling than died on 9/11. It's just mathematics.

> Pretending Cuomo deliberately let it happen. I agree he should have acted a week or two earlier in spring, but a comparison with the greatest terrorist attack that took place on US soil is not appropriate. It's also not entirely clear or possible to answer how many lives could have saved if Cuomo did A or B differently.

Even if he did close to 100% right, there would still be thousands of deaths. That's even the case in countries that were praised for their Covid handling.

True. Greg Abbott is likely one of the longest serving GOP Governors in office and one of the few to serve in a pre Trump era.

His incompetence led to the death of countless. He had as bad of a response to COVID as Trump and that's no exaggeration.

How are we stuck with Cuomo until 2026, when there will be a gubernatorial primary and a general election in 2022, and Cuomo could run for President in 2024 if Biden retires or does an incompetent job in office? There are too many unknowns in between now and then.

Cuomo can't win the presidency. He has too much baggage.

If he has too much baggage to win the Presidency, then why is re-election in 2022 a shoe-in?

Anything can happen in 2 years, let alone 4.

Because the NYGOP doesn't have much of a bench other than Harry Wilson and Nicole Malliotakis.

They have Marc Molinaro, too, among others.

Cuomo could lose a Democratic primary from the left if the people turn on him, too.

Nothing is guaranteed. 2 years is an awfully long time in politics.

while it's definitely true that Cuomo is 100% responsible for more deaths than Osama Bin Laden is, intentions matter. Cuomo did not do it on purpose. 9/11 affected only NYC, while COVID affects almost everywhere.

[Young Conservative]

Cuomo is grossly incompetent, power hungry, and a generally awful individual. However, he is not a truly evil, malicious person. Comparing him to Osama Bin Laden is disgraceful and untrue.

Anyways, screw Cuomo.

I'm really not sure how you can look at Cuomo's record on covid and come to the conclusion that he didn't want people to die.

Death through negligence and gross incompetence is worse in a sense because this is somebody you trusted to have the public's best interests first, and failed. On the other hand you don't put trust or faith in public safety in the hands of terrorists.

So why wasn't it infracted for "Excessive Hyperbole"?  Because he's a Democrat and no one reported it?

Mario Cuomo 1982 was my last vote in NY, while I was still an active Democrat.  One more example of how the father being so much better than the son.
