The Edward M. Kennedy Institute  praised Cuomo, who first took office on January 2011, for fighting “for social, racial and economic justice for all New Yorkers.”

Under Cuomo’s leadership, New York passed a $15 minimum wage, the nation's strongest paid family leave program and some of its strongest gun safety laws, the institute said.

Victoria Reggie Kennedy, the widow of Edward Kennedy, said Cuomo showed leadership during the early days of the pandemic when thousands were dying in New York.

Cuomo said the test of leadership is telling people what they don’t want to hear including the need for social distancing from those not in their immediate household.

“That’s when Gov. Cuomo became a household name," she said. “His dialing briefings became must-see TV.”

He continued to be a household name all the way til the bitter end. And I mean Bitter.

 Just a thought.
