Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer visited New York's Capital Region on Wednesday to promote his book "The Briefing: Politics, the Press and the President," and to be the keynote speaker at a fundraiser later in the day.

Spicer was expected to speak at an event for the Saratoga County GOP and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R - NY21).

While in Saratoga, Spicer agreed to an exclusive sit-down interview with Solomon Syed. No topic was off limits. He spoke about his six months in the White House, his thoughts on Omarosa Manigault-Newman's accusations of racism against President Donald Trump, and what he would have done differently.

He also addressed another brewing feud, between the president and Governor Andrew Cuomo. During his stop in New York on Monday, the President claimed Cuomo assured him he wouldn’t run against him for the White House in 2020. The governor didn’t deny they spoke over the phone, but said he never discusses politics with Trump.

"I don't know that Cuomo can win the primary, which is the bigger issue," Spicer said. "You look at where the Democrats are now. They keep tripping on themselves to go further and further to the left. The progressive wing of the party -- the socialist wing of the party clearly has a stranglehold on that.

"I don't know that Cuomo can win that, but even if he could ... I think the president would dispense with him rather quickly [in a general election]."

On Omarosa's new book and recorded conversations from the White House, Spicer was blunt: "She left in January and publicly, after leaving, was very clear in many interviews, saying she enjoyed her time at the White House. She praised the president, both as a person and in terms of what he accomplished.

"And then it seems within weeks, [she] was meeting with publishers, saying 'Tell me what I have to say to get more money.' "

He also had some thoughts on Melissa McCarthy's portrayal of him on "Saturday Night Live."

"As they went on, they became less funny and more mean," Spicer said, "but I also recognize and talk about this in the book, that while it was funny, I was becoming the story, which is not a good place for a press secretary."

As for his future: Spicer said he's working on a television interview show, but guaranteed he, himself, will never appear on a ballot for office.
