This wasn't the first time Cuomo has aided a driver in a tough spot. In January 2016, Cuomo helped a driver stuck on the highway in a blizzard. And in February 2017, he helped pull another car out of a snowbank on a Westchester County highway with cables from his security vehicles. (During law school, Cuomo worked as a tow truck driver.) Each time, the governor's aides took photos and tweeted them out.
You'll be sure to see these photos come up when he runs for president in the future. This is why these photos were taken.
