It’s a curse that’s hung over New York politics for the last 50 years:
No Governor since Nelson Rockefeller has made it past the third term in
office. A few weeks ago, it looked like Andrew Cuomo was on track to
break the curse. But now, roiled in a scandal involving Covid deaths at
nursing homes, Cuomo’s political future is looking less certain.
POLITICO’s Terry Golway reports. Plus, the heads of Facebook, Google and
Twitter agree to testify before lawmakers again. And the Biden
administration says it won’t share vaccines with poor countries until
most Americans are vaccinated.
