He has made a point of rarely traveling outside the state, scheduling his vacations in the Adirondacks or the Hamptons.īy contrast, Mario Cuomo, less than two years into his governorship, vaulted into the national spotlight with a speech to the 1984 Democratic National Convention. He has repeatedly turned down requests for interviews in the national news media, speaking almost exclusively to reporters from New York. He is planning a low-key role at this year’s Democratic National Convention - he will attend with the state’s delegation, but does not have a scheduled speech, despite being among the nation’s most popular governors. Cuomo, although clearly paying attention to national politics, has taken a number of steps to show how serious he is about avoiding the national stage. He has done so not because of any absence of ambition, but because he has carefully studied the presidential flirtation of the politician he knows best: his own father. Cuomo has repeatedly sought to tamp down such talk. The moment was striking because - despite widespread discussion in political circles that Andrew Cuomo could be a strong contender for his party’s nomination in 2016 - the younger Mr. Cuomo might someday “have an opportunity to serve at a higher level, to serve the people of the United States.” Cuomo, “the best governor in modern times,” and, according to several of those present, mused at length that the younger Mr. Cuomo, the former governor, showed up at his former residence, the Executive Mansion, and broached the unbroachable: before a crowd of about 100 relatives, friends and advisers gathered to mark his 80th birthday, he called his son, Andrew M. Cuomo never ran for president, but he seems to be warming to the idea that his son might.
