While everyone thinks Gavin Newsom is the primary possible contender if Biden drops out—or even if Biden doesn’t—I think the person who bears watching is disgraced former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. He’s been scheming at a comeback, and because he thinks he was unfairly railroaded from office he bears no loyalty to the Democratic establishment that abandoned him.

Here he is going on about how the country really doesn’t want a Biden-Trump rematch, and would be better served by someone new. Who might that be I wonder.

[Never gonna happen. Cuomo burned his bridges among Democrats during his reign of — well, not terror so much as imperial hubris. It’s one thing to have a recognizable name, and in this Age of Shameless, not even a bad reputation is worse than no reputation at all. But Cuomo will not be able to build up the necessary base of allies after his malevolence in New York for more than a decade. He will be nothing more than a sideshow. Eliot Spitzer has a better chance at a comeback, and the odds of that are near zero. — Ed]
