Governor Andrew Cuomo forged ahead on Monday, appearing at a mass COVID-19 vaccination site in New York City.
Thatâs despite the new accusations of sexual harassment and bullying that surfaced over the weekend and the growing number of calls for his resignation.
Fellow democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and South Buffalo Assemblyman Pat Burke are among those calling for Cuomo to step down.

As you might guess most Republicans here in Western New York feel that Governor Andrew Cuomo should resign while many, but not all, Democrats say not yet with very nuanced comments.
The rumors of his death have been greatly exaggerated. No, Gov. Cuomo is not a dead duck or even necessarily a lame duck and he shouldn’t be. He may not be perfect, but he has been the perfect man for our perilous pandemic times.
