Even if the sexual harassment and nursing home scandals had not occurred this would have been a bad choice. Sanders/Warren supporters would have complained loudly Cuomo was evidence Biden was selling out to corporate interests and they would probably have been right. AOC might have even declined to endorse her home state governor for the ticket. And given Biden's shaky standing with the hard left, this would have been a tone-deaf pick which would spark a circular firing squad.
If Biden was going to pick a (younger) white man it would have to be someone who was not so hated by progressives. Possibly Chris Murphy or Martin Heinrich.
