It's hilarious to look back in retrospect at how inflated Cuomo and DeBlasio's egos got in the early days of the crisis when NYC was one of the world's epicenters. They clearly both believed that appearing on national television in their "daily briefings" would lead them to greater things, perhaps the White House. (Same happened with Newsom in California.) Welp.

Because he was for several months the most prominent exponent of Orange Man Bad. *He even won an Emmy!* https://www.ocregister.com/2021/02/17/an-emmy-for-cuomo-might-be-most-embarrassing-covid-gaffe/ https://www.ocregister.com/2021/02/17/an-emmy-for-cuomo-migh...
