16 March 2021: NY Dem Leader Thinks Cuomo Would Be Convicted in Impeachment Trial

Cuomo’s Political Problems Mount As St. Sen. Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins Says She Thinks Impeachment Trial Would Result In Conviction

Here's an excerpt from the report:

Gov. Andrew Cuomo‘s political problems mounted Tuesday as the State Senate majority leader now says she thinks an impeachment trial would result in conviction for the three term chief executive.

As CBS2's political reporter Marcia Kramer reports, the question about Cuomo that was put to State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins was simple and straightforward: Does the upper house have the votes to impeach New York's chief executive?

"You know, a majority of my members have come out and suggested that the governor should resign. I haven't canvassed anyone, but I think the majority of my members have spoken," Stewart-Cousins said.
