Andrew Cuomo squeezed by critics on left and right over New York coronavirus debacle

Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, once seen as a lock for a fourth term, is under fire from both sides of the political spectrum over his handling of COVID-19 in New York.

Republican and Democratic state lawmakers in New York lashed out at the three-term New York governor after he claimed at a press conference Monday that the legislators were kept in the dark about a Department of Justice investigation into coronavirus-related nursing home deaths as a result of “a breakdown in communication between the staff and members of the legislature.”
