New York governor Andrew Cuomo may have hada great 2020, but his 2021 has been a slow-motion disaster. His administration is accused of undercounting nursing home deaths from COVID-19 (while he was working on a book about his steady handling of the pandemic), and heâs faced an outpouring of sexual harassment and abuse allegations, which he has denied. The portrait that has emerged is of an old-school bullying figure who has ruled the Empire State with an iron first for more than a decade. Though his approval ratings are stabilizing with New York Democrats, weâre a long way from the year of the âCuomosexual.â
