Cuomo's fight to stay in office runs into a wave of Democratic defections
CNN
Gov. Andrew Cuomo is running out of time and friends as he stares down the prospect of being the first New York governor impeached in more than 100 years -- with his own party leading the way.
Days after state Attorney General Letitia James, also a Democrat, released a detailed report that found he had sexually harassed 11 women, violating state and federal law, the three-term governor -- one of the most powerful figures the state has seen in a generation -- is bleeding support at home and among the Democratic Party's national heavyweights. The state legislature is poised to move ahead with impeachment proceedings and those seeking to remove him from office appear to have the votes to do it. But Cuomo has signaled he will not go without another round of fighting, despite what the James report described as a "deeply disturbing yet clear picture" of his wrongdoing. Even before the findings of the independent investigators hired by James -- as part of a probe that the governor referred to her office and claimed would exonerate him -- were made public, Cuomo and his inner circle sought to undermine its credibility. In the hours after its publication, Cuomo again denied having "touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances."
