Though initially celebrated for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, it is now apparent that Cuomo’s management of the crisis was a tragic failure. The Prince: Andrew Cuomo, Coronavirus, and the Fall of New York, the new book from Guardian and Jacobin columnist Ross Barkan, is a searing indictment of the Governor’s handling of coronavirus and his time overall in the highest office of the state. Join us for a look at the most powerful man in New York politics in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
