Marina Villeneuve and Jennifer Peltz12:08, Aug 05 2021 A majority of New York Assembly members support beginning impeachment proceedings against Governor Andrew Cuomo if he doesn't resign over investigative findings that he sexually harassed at least 11 women, according to an Associated Press count on Wednesday (local time). At least 86 of the body’s 150 members have said publicly or told The AP that they favoured initiating the process of ousting the third-term Democratic governor if he doesn’t quit. It takes a simple majority to authorise an impeachment trial. The tally reflects a governor plunged into a political deep freeze – a Democratic scion who has now lost most, if not all, of his allies in the party establishment, just a year after basking in national attention as a blunt-but-relatable voice of fighting the coronavirus.
