While Governor Andrew Cuomo is a major supporter of Donald Trump's opponent, Hillary Clinton, the governor was answering questions Friday about his relationship with the Republican candidate for president. Zack Fink filed the following report.

It was just over two years ago when Donald Trump was seriously considering a run for governor against Andrew Cuomo.

Fast foward to 2016. Trump never got into that race, Cuomo is safely re-elected and now Trump is the Republican nominee for president.

But despite being one of Hillary Clinton's most vocal and earliest supporters, Cuomo appeared to be on good terms with the sometimes bombastic Trump this past weekend.

"I know Donald Trump. I know him as a New Yorker. I've known him for many years. I saw him at the 9/11 ceremony," Cuomo said.

On Thursday, Trump was asked during a radio interview about his conversation with Cuomo at the memorial service.

"We had a long talk. We were actually talking to each other for a long while. We get along very well," Trump said.

"That is not the time to play politics," Cuomo said. "I'm the governor of the state of New York. Anyone that comes to 9/11 and that site, I thank them for coming."

Cuomo was also asked about the victory this week of Senate candidate Marisol Alcantara in upper Manhattan. She has vowed to conference with the breakaway faction of Democrats known as the IDC, not the mainline Democrats.

The IDC has an alliance with Republicans for control of the Senate. Cuomo has been criticized for embracing the group and not doing more to help win back Democratic control of the Senate.

"Their point is, they're growing. This is an institutionalization of their coalition. And I think they are right," Cuomo said.

It's unclear at this point if the IDC will realign itself with mainline Democrats after the election or stick with Republicans.

"They will literally be, could literally be, and will probably literally be the swing block between the Democarts and the Republicans," Cuomo said.

Observers say that could mean the IDC will hold the keys to who controls the Senate.
