Joe Biden’s been outgunned by President Trump and outshone by some of the nation’s governors, among them New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, whose crisis response efforts are drawing rave reviews
Biden advisers point out that Biden’s take-the-fight-to-Trump message has prevailed in the Democratic primaries and he won’t stray from a measured and moderate message that brought him to the precipice of clinching the Democratic nomination for president.
Trump’s Monday news briefing offered a contrast in style with Biden, as the president took more than an hour’s worth of questions from reporters. Cuomo, too, takes questions from reporters at his briefings. In both cases, the exchanges with the two executives reveal much about their thinking, and add a dose of drama that makes the news conferences engaging to watch. Biden, at home, was unable to do the same Monday.
“Historically speaking, when we enter a crisis like this, you see a big bump for the president, a real rallying around the flag,” Murray said. “What we’re seeing is an unusually small rally-around-the-flag levels of support.” Bruce Gyory, a New York Democratic consultant, said Cuomo has thrived in the crisis precisely where Trump fails, by being consistent and calm and not picking fights with the press.
