Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who left office in disgrace over sexual harassment allegations in 2023, took a swipe at Joe Biden’s re-election campaign during an appearance on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher.
Cuomo, known for his own controversies, didn’t hold back in criticizing Biden and his Democratic allies, questioning the president’s age and viability as a candidate. Despite being 66, Cuomo expressed doubts about Biden’s campaign strategy, suggesting that the president needs to address concerns about his age openly to win over the public.

As voters gear up to select the next leader of the nation on November 5, the issue of Biden’s age, with him potentially being 86 at the end of a second term, could play a pivotal role in shaping their decision. In contrast, former President Donald Trump, his Republican counterpart, appears to inspire more confidence among voters, being seen as possessing a more vigorous and energetic demeanor.
In another portion of the interview, Maher and Cuomo discussed the case against Trump in New York and how it was ‘the greatest fundraising bonanza ever.’
