Andrew Cuomo: 85 New York lawmakers call for governor to either resign or be impeached

At least 85 New York lawmakers have spoken out against Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who finds himself at the center of two serious scandals, according to data compiled by Fox News.

Cuomo has denied the harassment allegations and his top aides have insisted that they followed federal guidelines when it came to nursing homes. His office has denied allegations that the death count was altered. To impeach the sitting governor, the Assembly needs a majority vote in the 150-member body, and the state Senate—where there would be a conviction—would need a two-thirds majority of court members that would consist of both senators and judges from the state’s court of appeals. Of the 85 lawmakers calling on Cuomo to either step down or be impeached, 44 specifically called for impeachment. There are likely more Republicans who want him out of office but have not commented publically on the issue.
