Ramos expressed concerns that the city cannot afford a situation akin to what has been termed a &#8220;Joe Biden moment,&#8221; referencing questions about Cuomo&#8217;s mental acuity following his testimony on COVID-19 nursing home deaths. Ramos highlighted that Cuomo&#8217;s mental health may have been adversely affected by the disgrace of his resignation in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kathy-hochul-suggests-next-nyc-mayor-not-be-at-war-with-her\/\" title=\"Kathy Hochul suggests next NYC mayor not &#039;be at war&#039; with her\">2021 amid sexual harassment allegations<\/a>.In response, Cuomo&#8217;s representative dismissed Ramos&#8217;s claims as a desperate attack by a candidate with low poll numbers, and expressed skepticism about the need for Cuomo to take a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jeff-crouere-maga-must-prevail-in-gop-fight\/\" title=\"Jeff Crouere: MAGA Must Prevail in GOP Fight\">mental competency test<\/a>.
