Andrew Cuomo on Presidential Ambitions: ‘Sorry, I’m Losing You’

Gov. Andrew Cuomo this morning side-stepped questions about the status of his presumed presidential ambitions in a rare national television appearance on FOX Business Network.

“I’m sorry, I’m losing you, we have a technical difficulty,” he jokingly told host Maria Bartiromo when asked whether he was still eying a run for the White House in 2016.

Ms. Bartiromo also pressed Mr. Cuomo on his re-election prospects later this year, when he is expected to cruise to victory in the largely Democratic state.

“I’m trying to stay away from the politics until I finish the government, because once you start political speak, the government stops, you know,” explained Mr. Cuomo, who said that he wants to avoid “talking any politics” until June, when the legislative session ends.
