Cuomo has denied the most serious allegations against him and acknowledged Tuesday that his “instinct is to fight.” But he said the impeachment process would take months and consume resources that should go toward “managing COVID, guarding against the delta variant, reopening upstate, fighting gun violence and saving New York City.”
Still Cuomo. His resignation won’t take effect for two weeks. But Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul is on deckto replace Cuomo.
In sum: Buffalo-area native. Age 62. Democratic ex-congresswoman. Once had a good rating from the National Rifle Association and threatened to jail unauthorized immigrants who tried to legally apply for driver’s licenses. Now supports gun control and letting unauthorized immigrants drive. Unknown quantity to much of the state, but popular among par...
As Hochul told it Wednesday, “it’s very clear that the governor and I have not been close, physically or otherwise.” Hochul spent much of her time crisscrossing New York as part of her duties as lieutenant governor. Cuomo chose her as his running mate while pursuing his second term, in 2014, but she was never part of his inner circle — and isn’t me...
Cuomo said he wanted to ensure a “seamless” transition to the new administration. He declared Hochul could be caught up to speed in a timely fashion.
That legal question is murky, but the bottom line: He won’t be impeached. Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said Friday that lawyers advised the Legislature’s judiciary committee that it wouldn’t be constitutional to impeach Cuomoonce he’s no longer governor.
Who’s to say! But a majority of the Assembly would have voted to advance impeachment,according to an AP poll conducted last week. And Heastie did say the “credible” evidence the committee amassed “could likely have resulted in articles of impeachment had he not resigned.” But he did resign, so it’s moot.
Heastie says he’s asked the committee chair to pass the evidence on to the appropriate authorities still investigating. It’s unclear if the public will get to see any of it at this point.
Staving off a Cuomo comeback. If Cuomo had been impeached, he could have been barred from ever holding elected office in New York again.
Hochul will appoint her replacement. She wouldn’t reveal her pick for the job, but nodded to the need for diversity and inclusion and said she would “name someone that I believe the state will be familiar with.” Until her pick is in place, Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins would be next in the line of succession if Hochul had to leave o...
