Gov. Andrew Cuomo and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shared a stage today at a New York City event to promote women's equality.

The cheers that both political figures received made it hard to tell if the crowd was cheering for Cuomo in 2014 or Clinton in 2016.

Questions are now swirling whether their appearance together today was an endorsement if Clinton decides to run for president.

During last night's debate against GOP challenger Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, Cuomo already confirmed his plans not to run for president.

He said he would finish his four-year term if he's re-elected as governor.

A recent poll shows Cuomo with a 20-point lead over Astorino.

The election will be held Nov. 4.

There has been no confirmation about Clinton's run for presidency in 2016.

When News 12 asked the governor if he would support Clinton if she decides to run, he answered, "I don't think it does anyone a service for taking a position on a race that may never happen."

Clinton, however, did endorse Cuomo. "There is no doubt in my mind that the governor is the right leader, with the right plan," she said.
