Cuomo is a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, whom he believes is implementing policies that are “damaging and divisive.
“I believe I’m doing good things. I believe I know how to do this, and it gives me a personal sense of satisfaction to believe that at the end of the day, with all the nastiness in the world and all the politics in the world and the critics and the naysayers and the negativity, I know what I got done, and we have a lot going on now, and I would like to do it for as long as the people of the state of New York think I am a positive,” said Cuomo.
Last year, Cuomo won his third-term. He defeated his challenger Cynthia Nixon, a progressive activist and actress, with a 30-point lead in the primary election. The result showed that New Yorkers are very satisfied with leadership and they want him to continue his agenda for the state.
Cuomo embraced and implemented progressive policies such as raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour and cutting state taxes for the middle-class.
