90. But if Cuomo steps down or is impeached, we do not know for certain

that another Democratic Governor will replace Cuomo.

The situation is not that simple, there is the interim and then the next election.

Can see why Cuomo is a target of the GOP and trumpsters, for his flaws Cuomo is an intelligent and strong leader.

looking eerily like the situation of Franken, other Democratic pols appear to be jumping into the fray and positioning themselves for future competition within the Democratic Party, doing the dirty work for the GOP.

Frankly, I get your opinions about Cuomo and disagree. If Cuomo goes down, Newsom and Whitmer will follow, the strong Democratic governors of big states that acted with resolve in the last year.

With all the good things with Biden and Harris, why now to weaken our own party at this critical moment?
