Andrew Cuomo Says He Regrets Doing the ‘Principled’ Thing His Dad’s Voice Told Him to Do (Resign)

And other interesting things the mayoral frontrunner said on a podcast.

If he could do it all over again, Andrew Cuomo says he would not have resigned in disgrace in the summer of 2021, and that he quit because he "heard my father's voice."

Cuomo made the comments on the latest episode of Bari Weiss's podcast, which we listened to so you don't have to. 

"Why did you resign? Do you regret resigning?" Weiss asked.

"In retrospect, I would not have," Cuomo replied, before explaining his reasoning at the time: "It would have been chaos for a prolonged period of time in state government, I believed." Cuomo then added that he had heeded the advice of his late father, Mario Cuomo: "I actually heard my father's voice at that time."
