He characterized her as “smart and qualified,” highlighting her potential to lead the nation.

However, it was his strong condemnation of the phrase “defund the police” that drew significant attention. Cuomo declared, “’Defund the police’ are the three dumbest words ever uttered in politics,” emphasizing his belief in the importance of law enforcement amidst growing calls for reform.

His remarks reflect a growing divide within the Democratic Party, as leaders grapple with the balance between addressing systemic issues and supporting public safety.
