Things are looking worse by the hour for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Recently, a fourth, and then a fifth, woman came forward to accuse him of inappropriate behavior. At that point, Cuomoâs support among top Democrats in New York began to crumble â apparently some were OK with three accusers, but not with four or five.
First, the leader of the New York State Senate, Andrea Stewart-Cousins, demanded the governorâs resignation. âWe need to govern without daily distraction,â Stewart-Cousins said. âGov. Cuomo must resign.â Then the leader of the State Assembly, Carl Heastie, suggested Cuomo should quit when he said the governor should âseriously consider whether he can effectively meet the needs of the people of New York.â
