NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo plans to open his formidable fundraising network to Joe Biden's 2020 campaign
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has raised millions of dollars during his campaigns over the years, has indicated to associates in recent days that he will be opening his vast and powerful fundraising network exclusively to Joe Biden, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter.
"Andrew is all in for Joe. He is pushing his entire network that way – political and funding," said a person who has spoken to Cuomo recently. This person declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the conversations. Cuomo's support could be a game-changer for Biden. While the former vice president has consistently led Democratic primary polls, he has been aggressively courting donors in a bid to catch up to an already crowded primary field that has a head start in the fundraising game. New York State Board of Elections data show Cuomo has raked in $100 million in campaign contributions since he first ran for governor in 2010.
Biden's rivals in the Democratic primary already have a quarter of fundraising in the books. Sen. Bernie Sanders led the way with $18 million.
