Sending love and prayers from DC. 💪 🙏.” The network’s senior global affairs analyst, Brianna Golodryga expressed her support, writing, “Wishing you a speedy recovery @ChrisCuomo. 🙏🏻.” Journalists from other networks joined in, as well.

Former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang also sent his love: “Stay strong Chris! You will continue to inspire so many of us firsthand from your basement.” But the most poignant tribute of all was from another politician: Chris’ older brother, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Chris made his announcement while Governor Cuomo was in the middle of an on-air coronavirus briefing. “Now, he is going to be fine,” he told reporters at the event. “He’s young, in good shape, strong. Not as strong as he thinks,” he joked. “But he’ll be fine. [Chris is] really sweet, beautiful guy. And he’s my best friend. My father was always working, so it was always just me and Chris.”
