Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) reiterated their call for Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to step down.

From their joint statement: “The people of New York deserve better leadership in the governor’s office. We continue to believe that the Governor should resign.”

The Hill reports New York’s entire congressional delegation is now calling for Cuomo’s resignation.

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) called on Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to resign because he “has lost the confidence of the people of New York,” the Washington Post reports.

Politico says more than a dozen Democratic House members have “now mobilized against Cuomo, the latest sign of his crumbling support from one-time allies in Washington.”

“The list includes senior Democratic committee chairs — Reps. Carolyn Maloney, Jerry Nadler and Nydia Velázquez — who have worked with the Cuomo family for decades, as well as high-profile progressives, including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Mondaire Jones and Jamaal Bowman.”

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) defiantly rebuffed calls for his resignation as more women have come forward with sexual harassment allegations against him, saying Sunday “there is no way” he will step down, CBS News reports.

Said Cuomo: “I was elected by the people of the state, not by politicians. I’m not going to resign because of allegations. The premise of resigning because of allegations is actually anti-democratic.”

New York Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D) told Capital Tonight that if just one more woman accuses Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) of sexual harassment then he should be forced to leave office.

Nearly a dozen current and former staffers of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) told Gothamist/WNYC that the governor Cuomo “has cultivated an intense work culture that was brutal for some, traumatic for others.”

“We are withholding all of their names… because they fear professional or personal retaliation from the governor and his senior staff. Many still reside in New York where Cuomo’s reach extends far and wide.”

New York Magazine: “Governor Andrew Cuomo sounded defeated, senior officials who had spoken with him said. It seemed to be getting to him that the usual strategic plays were suddenly no longer working… The normally efficient governor’s office had been spinning out of control ever since a bombshell New York Times story broke the prior evening detailing how Cuomo had made a series of inappropriate comments to Charlotte Bennett, a young female aide, including asking her if she had ever had sex with older men and if she was monogamous in relationships.”

Said one former adviser: “They are panicking.”

Said another Cuomo ally: “The problem he has right now is that everybody hates him.”

“When a team of outside investigators begins to examine sexual harassment allegations lodged against Gov. Andrew Cuomo, its scope may be far broader than first anticipated,” the New York Times reports.

“The team, which will be hired by Letitia James, the New York State attorney general, will have far-reaching subpoena powers to request troves of documents and compel witnesses, including the governor, to testify under oath.”

Insider: Impeachment is “almost unprecedented” in New York, but calls for Cuomo to resign are growing among Democrats.

“A second former aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is accusing him of sexual harassment, saying that he asked her questions about her sex life, whether she was monogamous in her relationships and if she had ever had sex with older men,” the New York Times reports.

“The aide, Charlotte Bennett, who was an executive assistant and health policy adviser in the Cuomo administration until she left in November, told The New York Times that the governor had harassed her late last spring, during the height of the state’s fight against the coronavirus.”

Alex Pareene: “The press often describes him berating and threatening his ostensible political allies in the Democratic Party, notes that he seemingly faces no electoral penalty for doing so, and concludes that that kind of behavior is baked into his appeal as a politician. People have been reading stories about it for years, and they keep electing him anyway: Maybe they actually like it.”

“This is, I think, a misreading of Cuomo’s political appeal and strategy, and misses what has made his recent round of terrible press so interesting. What is happening now is that fans of Andrew Cuomo the television character are being introduced to Andrew Cuomo the newspaper character.”

“I have a very thick skin… I don’t really care what people say about me.”

— New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), quoted by the New York Times.

New York Assemblyman Ron Kim (D), one of the few Democratic lawmakers willing to criticize Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) for his handling of the state’s nursing homes during the pandemic, said the governor threatened to “destroy” him unless he took back his criticism, the New York Times reports.

Said Kim: “He goes off about how I hadn’t seen his wrath and anger, that he would destroy me and he would go out tomorrow and start telling how bad of a person I am and I would be finished and how he had bit his tongue about me for months. This was all yelling. It wasn’t a pleasant tone.”

“Mr. Cuomo made good on his threat on Wednesday afternoon. In a remarkable retort, the governor used his press briefing to lob allegations of impropriety at the assemblyman.”
