Majority? Who are the holdouts that won't make it unanimous?

Hochul has proven herself as nothing more than a political tool. She was pro gun when she was Erie County Clerk then fell goose step into the party line when asked to be Andy's dingleberry checker.

There are some who say the Dems will impeach him to prevent him from running for president in 2024. He must be viewed as a likely challenger to Harris.

It doesn't matter if they begin the process to impeach. What matters is how it ends. I see them going through the motions, then not finding enough evidence to impeach.

Not even 2/3 of new yorkers say he should resign.

63 percent of New York voters say Cuomo should resign: poll

He clearly is losing support and doesn't presently have the key support needed to stay where he is, but it's disheartening to see so many still support him.

The impeachment - if it happens - will only serve to give an excuse to not resign, and not address his behavior - he'll just claim "ongoing investigation" and wait for the matter to fall from the public consciousness. The Assembly will never actually vote to impeach - but they will squeeze Cuomo to send some tax $$$ their way. Watch for a bunch of new wasteful projects that cost big and produce nothing.

There should be a zero tolerance policy when it comes to sexual harassment & must send a clear message that this behavior is not tolerated,” - Andrew Cuomo, May, 2013.

Not sure how that would stop him, legally speaking. In fact off of the top of my head, it would be legally irrelevant.

Oh and Harris won’t be on the ticket. It’s dead in arrival.

Damw, they would have had Trump impeached 3X’s already

Ever wonder if this is a ruse to get public attention away from him killing old people?

Accuse him of something for which it is VERY difficult to find evidence as a means to make people forget other things he's done, which they already HAVE evidence of.

30% of NY voters would line up around the block to vote for the Castro/Guevara ticket.

They'd love to vote for Hugo Chaves, he's got experience, they like his platform, and they're confident he'll get it right this time.

They'd vote the Nero/Caligula ticket if it had a "D" next to it.
