New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is reportedly 'laying the groundwork' for a 2020 presidential bid.

Cuomo, 59, has already hired two fundraisers in Florida, a key swing state in the presidential elections.

A source told the New York Post that the newly hired fundraisers, including Hillary Clinton's former go-to-guy Jon Adrabi, is a sign Cuomo's building a national network to launch his presidential bid.

Adrabi and another consultant are expected to plan events and build relationships with Democratic donors in Florida.

'Hiring out-of-state fundraising staff, particularly in a battleground state, opens up money spigots beyond what would normally be available and is a key first step to laying the groundwork for a run,' said one source.

According to the Post Cuomo's plan is to hire political consultants with experience outside of New York.

Cuomo, who is in his second term, steadfastly denies he will run for president, saying his sole concern is running in New York and seeking re-election in 2018.

But the governor has been listed as top contender in a report from The Hill, claiming the No. 10 spot on the list.

State Democratic Party director Basil Smikle Jr did not dispute the Florida hiring, and told the Post that Cuomo 'always fundraises across the country and uses local consultants'.

His focus on out-of-state fundraising is a sign he wants to get a jump on other Democratic hopefuls, consultants say.

'Florida is a critical state not just for electoral value but for connecting with influencers and raising money,' Dan Gerstein, who advised former Connecticut Sen Joe Lieberman in his presidential run, told the Post.

'If you are serious about positioning yourself for a possible candidacy you start early.'

Cuomo has several fundraisers planned next month, including a dinner at the St. Regis where tickets cost $15,000 per person.
