Andrew Cuomo, who as we all know is a staunch Democrat and the former New York Governor, and Kellyanne Conway, a Republican and former Trump adviser, have certainly caused some heads to swirl and stirred up some controversy and rumors after being seen having dinner together at an Italian restaurant in New York City.
The meeting, which took place on Monday night, has been met with criticism from practically everyone due to the political differences between Cuomo and Conway. The two were photographed leaving the restaurant after 10 p.m., leading to speculation about the purpose of the meeting.
It’s not uncommon for former political adversaries to meet and share a meal in the spirit of bipartisanship, but the timing of this particular meeting has caused some people to question the purpose of the dinner. Cuomo and Conway have had their disagreements in the past, and their meeting has caused some to speculate that they could be attempting to find common ground on some issues.
Others have argued that the dinner was simply a way for the two to catch up and discuss current events in a relaxed setting. Cuomo has been outspoken in his criticism of Trump and the Republican Party, while Conway has supported the former President and his policies. But the dinner could be a sign that the two are willing to set aside their differences and come together for the betterment of their shared state.
The dinner has also raised questions about Cuomo’s political aspirations. It's been speculated that he could be considering a presidential run in 2024, and meeting with Conway could be part of his strategy to gain support from the Republican Party. Hey...I'm just reporting the news. It sounds just as ridiculous to me as it does you.
It remains to be seen how the dinner will play into Cuomo’s future plans, but it certainly has sparked a great deal of controversy and debate.
