Amid a sexual harassment investigation, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is trying to control the narrative by focusing on vaccine distribution, economic recovery and state budget negotiations — while also surrounding himself with the few supporters he has left. NY1’s Juan Manuel Benítez, Courtney Gross, and Bob Hardt comment on the governor’s strategy, and tell us if they think Albany Democrats will get their way in the state budget. They also give us an update on the race for mayor, as a group of top-tier candidates is starting to emerge. We want to hear from you, especially if you think Cuomo is using the COVID-19 reopenings as a way to sway public opinion: Twitter: #NY1OffTopic or @JuanMaBenitez, @Courtneycgross, and @bobhardt Leave a message: 212-379-3440 Email: yourstoryny1@charter.com For more information: www.ny1.com/offtopic For more information on the new coronavirus, head to www.ny1.com/coronavirus
