WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Monday that New York mayor Andrew Cuomo, whose popularity has surged thanks to his handling of the coronavirus outbreak in his city, would make a better candidate to run against him November’s elections than Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden.
"I’ll be honest, I think he’d be a better candidate than Sleepy Joe, I wouldn’t mind running against Andrew. I don’t mind running against Joe Biden.” But he also said that much of Cuomo’s success in tackling the disease was due to the support given by the federal government. (AFP)
