Everyone wants New York governor Andrew Cuomo to resign. The New York Times editorial board. Both of the state’s senators. President Joe Biden. A new report finding that Cuomo sexually harassed numerous women has reignited a crisis that erupted earlier this year, but the governor managed to survive.

Cuomo is not going to resign. The problem isn’t just that he is a narcissistic bully like Donald Trump and is thus unable to express contrition. It’s that being governor, and one-upping his father by winning a fourth term (who served three terms as governor), is the basis of his entire personality. Demanding Cuomo resign is akin to demanding he commit suicide.

The legislature is all but assured to move forward with impeachment. But while Republicans see an opportunity to strike a blow against Democrats, and socialist and progressive lawmakers are eager to take down a centrist governor, removal isn’t certain. For one thing, the judges on the state’s highest court, the Court of Appeals, would join senators in the trial. Guess which governor appointed them.
