For John, BLUF: Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo resigned over allegations of sexual abuse. But, at 66, he has time for one more term in public office. Nothing to see here; just move along.

Here is the lede plus four:
Here he comes. To save the day?This is an opinion piece and as such, it is a little tart about former Governor Cuomo. Plus, the Newspaper itself is not in the Progressive Camp.Andrew Cuomo, always intrusive and never in doubt, just tucked into Joe Biden and the Democratic Party on America’s self-inflicted border-hopper crisis.
“The migrant issue is creating mayhem across the country and showing the ineffectiveness and schisms in the Democratic Party,” writes ex-Gov. Bigfoot for The Hill — a policy-wonk-centric, Washington-based venue.
That is to say, a site watched closely by political pros from sea to shining sea: Cuomo sent a message not likely to be missed — on two levels.
“President Biden’s administration has not been able to solve the migrant problem,” he continued, “primarily because of the divided opinion within our own party.”
The above notwithstanding, I am not surprised that Governor Cuomo is making a bid to come back. And, he couldn't have picked a better topic. Given the apparent lack of depth on the Democratic Bench, he is, in my mind, a possible replacement for President Biden some time before the November Election.
For sure illegal immigration is a major issue at this time. Further, the Administration is not using the authority available to it to solve the problem. I am very doubtful that the mystery bill♠ being developed on Capitol Hill will provide the relief teh American People are looking for.
Hat tip to the InstaPundit.

♠ Here is a take by NPR. However NPR does not present up front the concerns about rumored high number of illegal immigrants required to trigger action.
