I'm not so optimistic. I mean, just look at Ralph Northam - literally posed as either blackface charicature or in a KKK costume (Don't think he ever made it clear which was him), and not only stayed in office but got re-elected. Cuomo seems to be quadrupling down, hunkering down, and continuing to raise money for another run, and probably is just hoping something else will take over the news in a few days.
1. He apologized. IIRC, it was kinda half-hearted, but that still makes it light years better than what "America's Governor" did. While it might be said that he just took a page from Clinton and Trump's playbook and has decided to tough it out, he added his own nasty Cuomo twist to things that took it to an entirely different level. Or three.
b) If Cuomo goes he gets replaced by another Democrat. While Northam was in trouble so too were his Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General. The next two in the line of succession. It was uncertain that any of them could weather their personal scandals. And if not, then the third in line was a Republican and he would become Governor. So unlike Cuomo, the state's Democrats either closed ranks behind or took the pressure off Northam (as did the MSM) in order to keep the Governorship in Democrat hands.

I think it depends on who wants him gone. If the establishment wants him gone (and that looks to be the case, otherwise MSM would have buried it), he's gone. The case of Northam is an example of typical leftist phoniness. They don't really care about racism. It's a political tool they use where it's convenient or just to virtue-signal. After all, look who they voted in -- a pro-segregationist dixiecrat racist.

Absolutely. I mean they just totally ignored Tara Reade, and there was far more evidence there than the zero evidence that was leveled at Kavanaugh. And that's my point. MSM wouldn't be this relentless if the establishment elites didn't want Cuomo gone. This is something far deeper than just harassment. They're using it here because they know it's a hot topic subject with the left and it gets them mileage. Cuomo must have done something to really tick off someone at the top."For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6

So not only has Social Media become a wing of the Democrat party, happy to squelch conservative speech and criticism, it looks like the AG report uncovered evidence that Facebook was working with Cuomo to attack his accusers.

This is certainly still all over NY state news sites.
Summary News:- I think just everyone in a position of authority in the NY Democratic party has called on him to resign.
- It appears likely that the votes are there to impeach him. It also appears likely that Cuomo will try to draw out the process as long as possible.
- One of the accusers in the AG report has filed a criminal complaint.
- Most interesting speculation: Cuomo will resign before being impeached so he can run for office again and be vindicated that way.

And yet this was the guy less than a year ago the entire MSM and political left edifice was praising as a hero and champion because he wasn't Trump. That's very telling.
