Mara Gay: Dems Should Do what Andrew Cuomo Did with Covid Daily Briefings to Fight Trump

‘You cannot wait and have private discussions’

EXCERPT:

GAY: “So the Democrats and really anybody who is in the Democratic small 'd' opposition need to be fighting hard to make clear to the American people that there -- there is a -- a different path, that this is not inevitable, that we still have a government and a Constitution that is worth fighting for, a democracy that's worth fighting for. It takes me back to the early days of the pandemic, where for all the many other mistakes he made, I thought Governor Andrew Cuomo did a great job in New York of having a daily briefing from New York about the state of affairs for the Covid pandemic. You know, why aren't we seeing that from the Democrats and others today, but especially from the Democrats? I think that you cannot overcommunicate. You cannot wait and have private discussions -- you know, again, Jeffries, Schumer, I think they want to do the right thing, but we need to be seeing much more from them. You can't just wait for a whole strategy and then start messaging. You can't wait for that. You have to start communicating with the American people now and telling them what is happening, showing them you're going to stand up.”
