Photo: George Etheredge There is almost no one left in Democratic politics in New York or across the country — not from the president of the United States to the lowest local ward heeler — who is on the record saying that Andrew Cuomo should remain as governor of New York. His longtime backers in the state’s business community have abandoned him, as have the labor unions that kept his Democratic challengers at bay over these past dozen years.
There remains a belief in Cuomo-world that James’s report was political, the product of someone eyeing the governor’s office herself, and largely put together by Joon Kim, a former federal prosecutor who led the case against Joe Percoco, a top Cuomo aide convicted on corruption charges. As one supporter of the governor’s said, Kim “has been trying to get to the governor for the past decade.”
People who have spoken with the governor say that he recognizes that the chances of him surviving this are very slim. “It’s like the building collapsed on top of him and there is a tiny ray of light you can still see through,” said one. “It’s fading, but it is there.” As much as Cuomo wants to fight it out now, he is not likely to fight an impeachment in the Assembly and a trial in the Senate, which puts further pressure on him to tell his side of the story now. If an impeachment referral was sent to the Senate, Cuomo would have to temporarily step down from his perch and vacate the governor’s mansion.
