NEW YORK — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has gained a national following through his management of the coronavirus pandemic, is writing a book that looks back on his experiences, and includes leadership advice and a close look at his relationship with the administration of President Donald Trump.

Crown announced Tuesday that Cuomo's “American Crisis” will be released Oct. 13, three weeks before Election Day, when Trump is expected to face presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. The news comes the day after Cuomo addressed the Democratic National Convention and called the virus' spread a metaphor for a country weakened by division. New York State has one of the lowest infection rates in the U.S., a welcome contrast to the spring, when it had one of the highest.

2. Ty!

I was concerned that maybe it was so commonly known, no one was talking about it anymore. Lol

3. I worked on his reelection in 2018. Cuomo had to fend off Glenn Greewald

and Common Dreams attacks on his integrity and competence. They called him "Quid Pro Cuomo".

And who was behind the "bombshell allegations" referenced by Greenwald? Interesting that Glenn linked to a secondary source, NY Magazine,

Who was the primary source? David Sirota, of course.

4. Not sure about all that, but the book is reportedly pointed at chumputin's lack of leadership

5. I look forward to Andrew Cuomo's book.

He's a wonderful governor. Even before his gold standard covid response, he had secured the following for New Yorkers:

- $15/hr minimum wage
- tuition-free state university and community college
- gender pay parity
- the most liberal paid family leave guarantees in the nation
- the codification of Roe v Wade into state statutory law

I do know about about "all that" because I spent a good part of the summer of 2018 putting out fires.

I only mention it now because forewarned is forearmed.

People need to be careful if and when Greenwald and Sirota start this kind of nonsense against Biden-Harris once the general election season starts.

6. Me too!

And ty so much for sharing your personal experience!

Apologies for the way my post came across. What I should have said is I'm not familiar with thr RWNJs you mentioned. 😊

Cuomo is awesome for sure!!! It must have been exciting working on his campaign & it is because of dedicated persons like you that NY had his tremendous leadership through the deadly tRump virus this spring and ongoing.

7. Just the other day, I was in the card store

And the cashier rang up my $9.99 purchase and said, "That'll be $10.69. Governor Cuomo has to take his cut." I felt like responding that a portion goes to the Republican-controlled county but all I said was, "He's worth it!" I wanted to go on about what a good job he's been doing with the pandemic but I think she caught my point and mumbled something like "I suppose so."

8. This always baffles me

And I can just imagine her grudgingly muttering.
