Chris Cuomo Sparks Controversy by Admitting He Voted for His Brother in Presidential Election

In a recent episode of HBO‘s *Real Time with Bill Maher*, Chris Cuomo generated significant attention and surprise when he revealed that he wrote in his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, in the presidential election. This admission came during a discussion on the election results with Bill Maher, Dr. Casey Means, and Fox News contributor Mary Katharine Ham.

Chris Cuomo’s decision to vote for his brother, who resigned as governor in 2021 following multiple sexual harassment allegations, was met with a mix of laughter and applause from the audience. Maher expressed his surprise, asking, “Really? You couldn’t vote for Kamala Harris?” Cuomo defended his choice, stating that the options available were unacceptable and that the Democratic process was an embarrassment.

Cuomo also mentioned that he misspelled his brother’s name on the ballot, which he joked might render the vote invalid. However, his main point was that he felt the country deserved better than the candidates presented. Mary Katharine Ham chimed in, supporting Cuomo’s sentiment by noting that many people shared his dissatisfaction with the available choices.

The conversation highlighted broader criticisms of the Democratic Party’s handling of the election, particularly after President Joe Biden dropped his reelection campaign and Vice President Kamala Harris stepped in without a larger primary process to select a candidate.
