Joe Biden Potentially Wants Andrew Cuomo as AG, But the NY Governor Was Just Accused of Sexual Harassment

Bloomberg very recently reported that in a Biden presidential administration, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo would be considered for Attorney General.

President-elect Joe Biden is considering New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to be his attorney general, a person familiar with the matter said Friday night.

Cuomo, a former attorney general of New York State, joins a small list of other candidates who Biden is weighing, including Alabama Senator Doug Jones, U.S. Circuit Court Judge Merrick Garland and former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates.

As you can see, he is just one on a list. It’s beginning to appear that the chances of the other names on the list just got better if Biden gets into the White House. That is because, Andrew Cuomo has reportedly been accused of sexual assault by a former aide.

This is not good for Cuomo, as he has also been accused of handling the nursing homes very poorly in New York during the Covid-19 pandemic, although some of his allies may disagree.

Lindsey Boylan is the apparent accuser against New York Governor Cuomo, who tweeted in part recently:

“Yes, @NYGovCuomo sexually harassed me for years. Many saw it, and watched. I could never anticipate what to expect: would I be grilled on my work (which was very good) or harassed about my looks. Or would it be both in the same conversation? This was the way for years.”

I’m angry to be put in this situation at all. That because I am a woman, I can work hard my whole life to better myself and help others and yet still fall victim as countless women over generations have. Mostly silently.

I hate that some men, like @NYGovCuomo abuse their power.

There is often a double standard in politics, where Republicans try to be statesmen and Democrats often have the notoriety of fighting harder, even if their policies themselves are awful in the eyes of the right. Will the GOP fight against Biden, and push for exposure of these allegations of Governor Cuomo? Only time can tell.
