competence factor. Cuomo was perceived as having been strong and effective in his dealings with Trump, especially during Covid. He became a leader of a consortium of governors attempting to ensure their states got PPE, respirators, etc. during the first wave of Covid. His daily briefings were informative and a counter to Trump's daily doses of lies, Jared Kushner's doling out of much-needed supplies possibly to the highest bidders. (We'll never know that full story.)
So, a flawed candidate - corruption, sexual harassment - is viewed by some as the one who can deal with Trump more effectively.

Just some thoughts thinking back to when we listened to our Maine CDC director,Dr. Nirav Shah, Gov. Cuomo and Trump daily. Thank gawd for Dr. Fauci.
