GOP Rep. Tom Reed 'definitely looking' at challenging NY Gov. Cuomo amid nursing home controversy
Fox News
Republican Rep. Tom Reed of New York says that he’s "definitely looking" at running next year against Gov. Andrew Cuomo when the embattled three-term Democratic governor bids for re-election.
"Given an opportunity to do my part to serve and try to change the direction of the state, we are definitely looking at it," Reed said. While still holding strong poll numbers, Cuomo has been politically wounded by the state’s current nursing home COVID crisis. The governor -- who last year initially won national praise from Democrats and the media for his efforts battling the coronavirus pandemic -- suffered political fallout in recent weeks from revelations that his administration concealed the full extent of nursing home-related deaths during the COVID crisis.More Related News
