Cuomo’s political future in question as fallout grows
| New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is trying to survive a political gauntlet — including multiple criminal investigations, impeachment proceedings and potential primary challengers — after the release of a bombshell report detailing allegations of sexual harassment against him by nearly a dozen women.
The report, released Tuesday by state Attorney General Letitia James (D), set off a flood of calls for his resignation and spurred an impeachment committee in the state Assembly to ramp up its investigation into the same claims – a process that could lead to Cuomo’s ouster. And even if Cuomo runs through those headwinds and remains in office, he heads into a reelection race in 2022 more vulnerable than at any point during his time in public office. |
