Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been declared politically dead before, but this time the challenges facing him are steeper

03/06/2021 07:00 AM ESTALBANY, N.Y. — New York . For the first time in 12 years, the Democratic governor looks vulnerable for his next election — if he runs at all.

"Whether he resigns or not, there will be no shortage of candidates in 2022,” said a person with ties to one potential Democratic candidate, speaking anonymously so as not to anger Cuomo. “Donors and consultants have begun reaching out to prospective candidates because they see the writing on the wall."

And she was much more conservative earlier in her career. Hochul helped lead the opposition to then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s plan to grant driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants while she was serving as Erie County’s clerk in 2007, threatening to arrest applicants. She’s James would likely need to start improving her standing on Long Island and north of the Bronx. She received only 25 percent of the vote outside of New York City in the 2018 Democratic primary for attorney general. That was enough to win a four-way race with 40 percent of the vote, thanks to a strong showing in the five boroughs. But it probably wouldn’t cut it in a one-on-one gubernatorial primary against a strong challenger.

He's led the Democratic ticket in vote-getting in the past, with his 67 percent in 2018 outpolling Cuomo by a solid 7 points. And he’d be a strong contender to lock up the support of many of the state’s most politically powerful labor unions and party leaders in any potential primary battle.Even if voters are repulsed by Cuomo’s behavior and want somebody nice, New York politics ain’t bean bag.

Republicans are trying to destroy the NY Democratic Party so they can elect a Republican Gov to pardon Trump

Andrew Cuomo needs to be gone before he becomes a threat to all that the Biden Administration has accomplished. The Democratic leadership cannot have liabilities like him if they intend to keep the forward momentum they now are enjoying. He did this to himself, & should be gone.

The nursing home deaths debacle definitely wasn’t following the “science”. So the ugly Cuomo has to go. The sexual abuse cases are just icing on the cake. Maybe he can get another Emmy. CuomoResign

Are you all nuts, Cuomo is all you are talking about and worried with, there were real human beings hurt by this man, you need to be talking about them not speculating about this JA.

I trust him. I really do support him. I am afraid he is the victim of GOP attack’s. Let’s see what Justice will decide...

This summer should be interesting.

He’ll escape fine because the Democrats are too focused on trashing the Right as well as passing leftist policies.

The man sent 6,000 elderly people to their actual death beds, but his political career being dead is really the story here

If Cuomo is crucified for soliciting sex....then every man on the planet and woman for that matter, should be too!!!
