Chris Cuomo voting for Andrew Cuomo in the 2024 presidential election feels like the most Cuomo thing ever. In a world where your choices are the lesser of two evils, why not go off-script and write in your own brother? During an interview with Patrick Bet-David, Cuomo surprised everyone by revealing that instead of supporting any of the main candidates — Trump or Harris — he decided to cast his vote for his brother, the former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. It’s a family affair, apparently.
The exchange started with Bet-David jokingly asking if Cuomo, as a “big Trump supporter,” was pleased with the results. With a dry laugh, Cuomo shot back, “I was happy that there was a definitive quick result. I am not a fan.” That’s Cuomo for you, always ready with a quip but quick to clarify his political disinterest. Then Bet-David went straight for the jugular, asking Cuomo who he actually voted for. Without hesitation, Cuomo admitted, “I voted for my brother.” When Bet-David pressed him, probably thinking it was a joke, Cuomo doubled down: “I wrote him in.”
Chris Cuomo even mentioned snapping a photo of his ballot as proof, but immediately walked it back, realizing he might have wandered into legal gray territory. “Let’s just pretend it never happened,” he said with a laugh, swapping the proof for a family picture instead. Typical Cuomo — keep it in the family and sidestep the legal issues with a joke.
The real eyebrow-raiser here, though, was when Bet-David asked why Cuomo didn’t just vote for Kamala Harris. Cuomo’s response was candid: “Listen, I’m not a Trump fan, okay? And I’m not a Democrat. I think this country can do better.” That’s the crux of it: Chris Cuomo isn’t impressed with either side. He’s not a fan of the Trump movement, but he’s also disenchanted with the Democratic leadership. In his words, “America can do better than these two candidates.”
Cuomo’s analysis didn’t stop there. He acknowledged the power and significance of Trump’s movement, admitting that its supporters have been disrespected, which he sees as a dangerous trend in American politics. “I think the movement behind Trump is very real. It’s been disrespected, and I think that’s problematic for America,” Cuomo noted. However, he made it clear that he doesn’t align himself with that movement either. Instead, he seems to be advocating for a higher standard of leadership, arguing that the current slate of candidates falls short.

It’s a bold, almost rebellious stance for a television host who once anchored CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time.” Now on NewsNation, hosting his own show “CUOMO,” it’s clear he’s charting his own course — even if that means casting a throwaway vote for his brother.
