Kiss Andrew Cuomo goodbye. The detailed allegations of sexual harassment, a failed effort to apologize, and repulsiveness of it all has doomed him. Add to this the unfolding story of Cuomo’s role in placing infected COVID-19 patients in nursing homes and then covering up infection and death rates, and you have a recipe for ending a political career.

Cuomo appears to not know what hit him. About a year ago he was flying high as a dramatic counterpoint to the clueless Donald Trump. Daily press briefings were both informative and comforting. More than one observer expressed regret that Cuomo wasn’t running for president.
