Cuomo two weeks ago had been ready to launch an effort to claw out from months of scandal prior to last week's report corroborating 11 accounts of sexual harassment allegedly committed by the governor
ALBANY, N.Y. — On July 14, Andrew Cuomo’s ethics officer sent an email to two dozen staff who had signaled an interest in working on the New York governor’s 2022 reelection.
Two weeks later, the dream of an elusive fourth term is all but dead with Cuomo’s resignation announcement Tuesday. It was a rapid decision, announced in a live video, that took nearly everyone — except for a few senior aides who were told Monday — by surprise. In the hours and days that followed the report, Cuomo and his lawyers came out swinging, on brand, with shouts of lies and political posturing as his former aidesEven then, as Cuomo dug in for a fight, he remained relatively calm and analytical, focused on his next steps, said one former top Cuomo aide who spoke with him briefly after the report was published.
