Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, now the frontrunner in the race for New York City mayor, wants to launch a national campaign to take on President Donald Trump.

Cuomo told Politico in an interview that he plans to campaign against Trump’s proposed Medicaid cuts to help Democrats retake the House of Representatives if elected mayor.

“I would spend eight years in Washington — go to that U.S. Conference of Mayors, go to the National Governors Association,” Cuomo said to Politico. “He’s cutting Medicaid. Medicaid is not a blue-city, blue-state situation. That is in every state. That is a lot of red Congressional districts. And he could lose the House on cutting Medicaid if you organized it and got it moving. You’re going to have to be a spokesperson, advocate, organizer. This is what Medicaid means in Mississippi, this is what Medicaid means in Texas. You organize that, they don’t have a lot of Congressional seats left to lose.”
