New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is making it clear he will not be accepting the position of attorney general if Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is elected in November.

“TODAY’S” Willie Geist noted an Axios report that indicates Biden’s campaign is considering Cuomo as a potential candidate to become attorney general if Biden becomes president.

Geist asked Cuomo if his “old friend” Biden comes to him and asks him to take the job what would he say.

“I would say, ‘You are an old friend. You are a good friend. You’re going to win this election. You’re going to be the president. I’ll help you any way I can,'” Cuomo said.

He added, “I’m a New Yorker. I said I would serve as governor and those rumors…those are only from people who want to get me out of New York. I don’t know why, but that’s where that’s coming from.”

Geist pressed Cuomo on whether he would accept Biden’s offer.

“I have no interest in going to Washington. I said when this COVID situation started, just so I had total credibility with the people of this state, I’m not running for president, I’m not running for vice president, I don’t want to go to Washington. I just am giving you the straight advice as your governor and that’s where I am,” Cuomo said.

Cuomo told ABC in June he would not accept a position in the Biden administration, as IJR previously reported.

“I am governor of New York and that’s all I want to be,” Cuomo said.

He added, “That’s one of the reasons why they distrust politicians because they think there’s a hidden agenda. I don’t want to go to Washington — they couldn’t drag me, they couldn’t force me. I only represent the people of the state, I have no agenda besides theirs.”
