Cuomo ready to run if Hillary or Bernie doesn’t take White House

The New York Post reports:

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has sent the strongest signal yet that he’s ready to run for president if a Democrat fails to win in November, even as top Democrats confide that Cuomo’s presidential campaign is already under way.

Senior state Democrats who have known Cuomo for decades told The Post that a speech in Buffalo last week was proof positive that the governor, once widely described as a political centrist, is seeking to use his Bernie Sanders-like “progressive’’ agenda of the nation’s highest minimum wage and a costly family leave mandate as a springboard to the presidency.

Cuomo, in a fiery speech to Democratic officials and union activists, claimed his plans for a $15-an-hour minimum wage and a family leave requirement were badly needed reforms the entire nation should emulate.

Andrew Cuomo: from the Koch brothers to Bernie Sanders in one political career.
