Yesterday following the Kagan Hearings, NY1′s Josh Robin caught up with Senator Schumer, and asked him about several topics, including the prospects for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Cuomo.

Robin asked the senior senator if the Attorney General is a “shoo-in” for governor. Schumer suggested all candidates running this year are vulnerable.

“Number one. Anyone who is running at any time, but particularly this year, who considers themselves a shoe-in ought to change their view. These are tumultuous times. He’s not a shoe-in. No one is a shoo-in.”

Schumer went on to say Cuomo was gutsy to put out such a detailed reform agenda in his campaign launch. “Very detailed. Shows real reform. It is really gutsy to do some of the things he has done. Goes against the grain. And I think it is what New York needs, so I think he is stepping out very well.”
