On Monday, Republicans in the New York State Assembly announced an impeachment resolution against Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), saying the governor has lost “credibility and trust” and has therefore lost the ability to lead the state during the COVID-19 pandemic. While Republicans only have a minority in both the New York State Assembly and the New York State Senate, many Democrats have demanded Cuomo’s resignation, and the governor has refused to step down.
“We’re going to introduce this resolution because we believe the time has come,” State Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay said in a press conference on Monday. “In order to lead this great state as governor, you need to have credibility and trust … and unfortunately, we feel the governor has lost that and now has an inability to lead.”
Barclay noted that over the weekend, “30 members of the assembly majority” called for Cuomo to resign. Six Democrats had issued a joint letter calling for his resignation last Tuesday.
Democrats dominate the New York legislature, with 107 seats in the 150-seat Assembly and 40 seats in the 63-seat state Senate. According to Fox News, a total of 37 lawmakers from either chamber have called on Cuomo to resign and ten have called for impeachment.
Just a matter of time now.
