Governor Andrew Cuomo has no plans to follow a presidential order requiring him to reopen the state if it means endangering the public health of New York.
“I wouldn’t do it,” Cuomo told CNN New Day host Allison Camerota Tuesday. “We would have a constitutional challenge between the state and federal government and that would go to the courts.”
Mitigation measures designed to curb the spread of a new coronavirus outbreak have taken a toll on the economy, causing massive unemployment numbers and stock market losses. President Donald Trump has pushed for people to get back to work sooner rather than later, and on Monday, he said the White House was “very close” to completing a plan to reopen the country.
