Cuomo resigns: how governor went from Covid hero to furious downfall

Comeuppance for Democrat's towering arrogance and egotism, and evidence of a growing shift from New York's notoriously macho and hardball politics

Chris Cuomo, a prime time host on CNN, had a question for his brother: With all of this adulation that you're getting for doing your job, are you thinking about running for president?"

Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York state, where polls showed 87% approval for his response to the coronavirus pandemic, insisted he was not. But the question persisted as Cuomo became the most prominent and trusted Democratic voice during a public health crisis that had then US president Donald Trump flailing.
