Governor Andrew Cuomo is covering for President Biden during the weekly conference calls with the National Governor’s Association. It seems that both the President, and VP Giggles, are too busy to attend themselves. This is from Breitbart News:

Embattled New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) has reportedly taken over the leadership of the weekly White House conference calls with the nation’s governors about the coronavirus pandemic, since President Joe Biden does not join them.

Philip Wegmann of RealClearPolitics reported Monday that Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have both opted not to join the weekly conference calls with governors, unlike former President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

I never thought that Lunchbox Joe would contribute much to the conversation anyway, but it makes you wonder if this is an attempt to reform the image of Governor Cuomo. You should recall that he is still under investigation for a slew of sexual harassment allegations, as well as his nursing home coverup.

Joe would like nothing more than for the allegations against Cuomo to go away. Otherwise he may be called to answer a few uncomfortable questions about his past.  I think they are both tied at eight accusers so far, but this doesn’t include the 30 or so that have accused the Governor of bullying and general meanness.

In any case, it looks like the nation’s executive branch responsibilities for the pandemic are being outsourced to the State of New York. President Biden probably prefers this for a couple of reasons. He isn’t always completely coherent, and he doesn’t want to be tied to Andy the Hand too closely in case he goes down.
