Long talked about as a presidential aspirant, New York governor Andrew Cuomo is hunkering down in Albany, watching national politics from afar. What’s he thinking?

Instead, Cuomo is perhaps more firmly turned inward than he has been in years, withratings, though well-positioned to run, as he has said he will, for a fourth term. Now, in two wide-ranging interviews last month, Cuomo described one of his current off-hours pleasures as strolling through town with his Siberian-shepherd mix, Captain—a habit that causes his aides and security team some heartburn when they see photos or texts from locals alerting them the governor is wandering the streets solo.

So, is that it? Is a mansion on Eagle Street—and the office he now occupies—the last stop in a career that began nearly a lifetime ago? It might be. But several former Cuomo aides told me they believe he made a political calculus about this presidential race, determining that he was unlikely to win the race this year, and that he might still be experiencing some FOMO.

He went about his business as he does when he’s back in Albany, choosing for himself the time and manner of his interactions, ghosting into public and private meeting rooms, eschewing even brief moments of hobnobbing. He avoided press he didn’t know, even as Trump was aiming tweets at him and New York. Onereporter looking for Cuomo to comment on a Trump tweet was left waiting for nearly 45 minutes outside a closed meeting the governor held with the New York press.

He showed more interest in the policy-heavy breakout sessions, saying he finds value in talking to other governors in a more formal setting about issues like regional approaches to legalized marijuana, which he has been.
