NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday said that he has no interest in leaving Albany for a job in Washington with a possible Biden administration, despite a report claiming that he is being considered for the Attorney General position.
Cuomo is being pushed for the job, and Biden would consider it, based on the pair's friendship, Axios reported, citing Democratic donors.
According to the report, Democrats are already looking into contingency plans to replace Cuomo as the National Governors Association chair, since they are so convinced that he would change jobs.
When asked on the Today show Monday what he would say to Biden if he was asked about the position, Cuomo said, "I would say, 'you are an old friend, you are a good friend, you are going to win this election. You are going to be the president. I'll help you any way I can.'"
He added, laughing, "Those rumors, those are only from people who want to get me out of New York. I don't know why, but that's where that's coming from."
When pushed by host Willie Geist if he would say no to Biden, Cuomo said, "I have no interest in going into Washington. I said when this COVID situation started, just so I had total credibility with the people of the state, 'I'm not running for president, I'm not running for vice president, I don't want to go to Washington, I just am giving you the straight advice as your governor,' and that's where I am."
