Revelations: In her book, Melissa revealed that Cuomo was thinking of running for president in 2020 – until President Joe Biden, 80, talked him out of it
Former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo, 65, was present as well. The politician looked handsome in a black suit with a vibrant purple tie.
The memoir is set to hit the bookshelves on Tuesday, October 24.
In her book, Melissa revealed that Cuomo was thinking of running for president in 2020 – until President Joe Biden, 80, talked him out of it.
She and Cuomo met with Biden in Virginia ahead of the 2020 presidential primary at the former vice president’s Georgian mansion near the Potomac.
Once there they had a meeting convened by Steve Ricchetti, now counselor to president Biden, and the two appealed to Cuomo to sit out the race.
Cuomo, resigned from his post in 2021 amid a sexual harassment scandal but was ‘privately’ considering running for the White House in 2019.
He decided against the move after being persuaded by his longtime friend Biden that he was ‘still young’.
The president also told him that both of them running would ‘cannibalize the middle’ and lead to a far left politician receiving the Democrat nomination.

Cuomo stepped down amid a probe into his behavior by New York Attorney General Letitia James and her damning report which found he had sexually harassed 11 women.
He has long maintained his innocence and claimed his resignation was to avoid an impeachment trial which would take up time and money.
Despite his close relationship to the president, Biden called for his resignation and admitted he had not read the report.
By contrast, DeRosa quit in solidarity with her former boss and has been among his most vocal supporters.
