He'd probably do it in some big, overly-dramatic press conference tomorrow morning. Gotta keep that acting reputation up.

Also have Biden or Harris comment on this yet?

To my knowledge, Biden, Gillibrand, Schumer and Pelosi have all indicated support for the AG's investigation into Cuomo. (I'd imagine Harris is toeing the White House line, and staying quiet).

Psaki has dodged over whether Biden still supports Cuomo, but made comments about how she was personally uncomfortable with his conduct. I can't imagine she'd be allowed to voice that discomfort if the White House wasn't getting ready to put pressure on Cuomo to go (behind the scenes, mind you - I don't expect Biden to publicly call for resignation unless the situation spirals).

Cuomo isn't going anywhere (willingly, at least):

In further proof that Cuomo has learned absolutely nothing, he's now threatening members of the legislature who call for his resignation.


(The deal here is that investigations into NY senators is handled by JCOPE, which only releases details once material evidence emerges in support of prosecution.)
Wonder what his father would make of all this

If you think Mario Cuomo was any different, I have a bridge over the Tappan Zee to sell you.

Obama/Paterson 2: Electric Boogaloo

Exactly what I was thinking of.

Man, it's really something that Cuomo's probably to be pushed out of office in a manner near-identical to the last two governors.

Speaker and senator majority leader should give him by Monday next week to resign or they should impeach and remove him

I bet you he is still sexually assaulting people even after this came out.

I wouldn't put it past Cuomo to defy the legislature and refuse to resign. Even Northam never got to this point.

In which case, they hopefully have what it takes to impeach & convict.

In Northam's case, both his potential successors had baggage revealed during the same time period (rape allegations against Fairfax, Herring's blackface scandal), and next in line would've been the Republican President pro tempore of the Senate (not completely sure, but didn't he also see a blackface controversy arising at that time?). This is not the case here, Hochul has been pretty much uncontroversial so far.

His planet size ego is a huge barrier in his willingness to resign, but then again his ego also dictates that he avoid an embarrassing pro longed impeachment fight

*The Republican Speaker of the House of Delegates, & I don't recall a blackface scandal so much as people just not wanting a Republican governor.

Which makes Cuomo a hypocrite. Still doesn't change my feelings on Northam though.

Your feelings are fine but barring a misinterpretation on your end of the initial tweet which I shared, they're wholly irrelevant to the conversation at hand.

Yeah, I misinterpreted that to have been by Northam, rather than about Northam.
