Furthermore, Cuomo stated that his administration provided real solutions for New Yorkers. His programs and policies made a difference in their lives including the $15 minimum wage, 12-week paid family leave and marriage equality.
According to him, New Yorkers “know that” and they are “smart.” He emphasized, “We have provided real-life solutions … We provided and achieved progress … And that’s the message of last night to me. People want help. They need progressive results. They want leadership that they can depend on.”
Moreover, Cuomo said the fear and anger at the Trump administration united and motivated Democrats to vote for him. The governor stressed that voters want a leader who will defend them against Trump and his “damaging and divisive” policies.
“The fear of Trump is real,” the governor said.
