Donald Trump's winning of the GOP presidential nomination is a gift from heaven to Democrats, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said during a fundraising event Monday, Politico reported.
"Any race that was anywhere close, I believe we can win," Cuomo said at the event held at Midtown Manhattan's Harvard Club, per the report. "We just have to seize the moment. We have to seize the moment. The Good Lord gave us a moment with this Donald Trump. He really, really did. If we push this point, we're going to win."
Cuomo told the gathering, attended by a half-dozen members of the state congressional delegation and by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, he expects Democrat Hillary Clinton to beat Trump and Democrats must work to take over the House and Senate as well so Clinton's agenda won't be thwarted.
"It takes three to tango," he said. "You give the Republicans the House and they will frustrate everything she is trying to do, and it will become the bastion for all the hate. They will migrate to the House, and they’ll make that their final stand. They'll say, 'Don't you dare be moderate' . . . and then we'll be more radical than ever before."
