Hello and welcome to the 538 politics podcast. I'm Galen Drick

Just last year at the height of the pandemic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was one of the most powerful and popular

Governors in the country his approval rating on the pandemic amongst New Yorkers approached 90 percent

Now he's facing overwhelming pressure to resign after a report from the New York Attorney General

Concluded that he sexually harassed 11 women most of them government workers and broke state and federal law in doing so

The call to resign have come from every single member of the New York delegation in Congress top Democrats such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer and even President Joe Biden

Cuomo so far has resisted the pressure

He released a video statement on Tuesday saying that he quote never touched anyone

inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances

Even if he doesn't resign Cuomo could be removed through impeachment and conviction in the state legislature

And when it comes to how voters are reacting we've got some preliminary data

Suggesting that a majority may want him to resign again. That's preliminary data

Here with me to discuss where things stand and what might happen next are politics editor sir Frostensen. Hello Sarah
