Actress and comedian Amy Schumer flipped to support New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) on Tuesday, having previously donated $10,000 to his rival for the Democratic gubernatorial primary, actress Cynthia Nixon. "I wanted to vote Nixon, but sadly, I don't believe she would know what the heck to do," Schumer wrote on Instagram Tuesday . "She needs to be able to pressure the state legislature in stuff but I don't believe she has enough connections upstate," Schumer wrote. "But I love her and think if anyone is inclined voting Nixon is cool." ADVERTISEMENT Schumer had previously backed Nixon, contributing $10,000 to her campaign, according to the New York Post . "We're very grateful for Amy's support," Nixon spokeswoman Lauren Hitt told the Post at the time. Cuomo has been endorsed by The New York Times and the New York Daily News .

Liz Peek: Trump vs. Biden – Greatness and optimism vs. depressing view of America
close Video Trump: Where Biden sees American darkness I see American greatness Democrats are giddy that Joe Biden was able to read a 20-minute speech from a TelePrompter. Imagine setting the bar that low for the guy you hope to elect president of the United States. Biden’s speech concluded a four-day dirge, otherwise known as the Democrat National Convention . From every viewpoint, the undertaking was a bust. Ratings for the evening broadcasts ranged from down 27% to down 9% compared to 2016; the best performance came on the night that Sen.

The results were also split among races, with 10 percent of white respondents supporting the idea and half of Black respondents backing it.
