Cuomo is a Clintonista. Obama values loyalty well above and beyond competency. Even if a long shot, he is a threat. Had he not purged Cuomo, it could be Cuomo challenging Biden or Harris (whichever survives to 2024) for the presidency. This is why you scratch your head wondering how dipshits like Bill De Blasio survive when a stuffed shirt with a dart board would accidentally end up making some good decisions by random chance. De Blasio is an Obama acolyte.

Gavin Newsome was attempted to be purged. That was the whole recall thing. It didn't work. He cheated as usual. He is not an Obama acolyte and you can see him similarly positioning himself for a white house run. That isn't going to stand without another run at purging him. So be on the look out for the next attempt. There isn't a lot of time for these guys to knock him out of the way before he gains steam.
