him just simply resigning tomorrow? look, you know, i think first and foremost he might have done what he has done and obviously it s wrong and he will face the consequences but governor cuomo is a smart man. he s been in power for a long time. he s going to do the right thing i m very hopeful and resign. griff: let s look into the crystal ball, alyssa, your prediction for how this plays out politically for governor cuomo? he will ride out the impeachment inquiry and put up a strong defense but there s so much mounting pressure around him he s ultimately either going to be removed from office or resign. griff: what do you think happens, josé? i think i think he s not going to be able to handle the political pressure from the president of the united states, from democrats, republicans in the country as a whole. i don t think he will go through the impeachment procedures. i think he will resign before that. griff: well, we shall see and come back here and talk about it alyssa an
well, look, i think he s doing the right thing. he s standing by the american people. look, you know, we know i don t think i agree with your guest that i think governor cuomo s political career is pretty much over but you have people on the republican side who have been accused of similar things, president trump has been accused of doing similar things and he was president of the united states. doesn t make it right by the way, let me make it very clear. but, i think, look in terms of the election from 4 years from today we still have a lot of time. the president of the united states today is joe biden. plenty of democrats to run in 4 or when ever the time may come. griff: alyssa, you talk about cuomo and what s known about his ego and that sort of stuff, it s worth pointing out that the reason why this report from attorney general latisha james came about was because the governor did authorize cases of
sexual harassment to be looked into, was that a mistake, was that cuomo s fundamental mistake? it s hard to say one way or the other. i would give him this, it was the right thing to do. i think he has invincibility problem. your network covered nursing home controversy and he managed to get away with that, but this is one that i don t think he can escape from. he may think he s invincible and i commend the women for coming forward and i commend the process and democrats who have swiftly come out and condemn him, it s the right thing. the walls are closing in, he does not have a lifeline here. i think he s going to be gone pretty soon. griff: if he s not, josé, if he is as alyssa says has invincibility complex, if hypothetically is arrested and criminally charged, how much more damaging for new york democrats is that as opposed to
advice is pretty simple. governor, don t go through the political embarrassment going through impeachment. you should resign. the attorney general has been cleared. the evidence has been cleared. this is not a democratic or republican issue. the evidence is there, he should resign today. griff: alyssa, what does this mean for democrats in new york? hugely significantly moment and i would argue not just for democrats in new york. many people believed that joe biden might not run for a second term and if that were the case and open field a governor cuomo was a top-tier democrat candidate for a 2024. this is the end of a political dynasty. it s the end of his role soon i hope in the governor s mansion but spells the end of potential presidential ambition. griff: josé, let me ask you, the president wasted no time on the same day when the report came out called for governor cuomo to resign, politically smart?
