What Went Down On The First Night Of The Democratic National Convention

Cuomo calls Biden “America Tough,” which would seem to be a direct spinoff of “New York Tough.”

That claim Cuomo just made — that COVID-19 taught people that government matters, that leadership matters — is that true? It feels true. But I haven’t seen polling on that, I don’t think.

New York has fallen to fifth in COVID-19 cases per capita and will likely fall further soon, as a number of other states that have more cases currently are on the verge of overtaking it. It is still No. 2 in deaths per capita, however, behind New Jersey.
