He was widely considered a potential front-runner for the Democratic nomination for president in both 1988 and 1992, though he declined to seek the nomination in both instances. His legacy as a reluctant standard-bearer for the Democrats in presidential elections led to his being dubbed "Hamlet on the Hudson". Cuomo was defeated for a fourth term as governor by George Pataki in the Republican Revolution of 1994. His loss was mainly caused by his lack of support outside New York City, where he carried only one county, however, local legend is that the proximate cause of Cuomo's defeat was because people were ready for a change. He subsequently retired from politics and joined the New York law firm of Willkie Farr & Gallagher.
