Like a toxic pingpong ball, career-threatening scandal has bounced between the governors of New Jersey and New York for two decades. Ever since New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey left office in a 2004 sex scandal in which he famously declared “I am a gay American,” governors from each state have traded places in the stocks under pressure to resign. McGreevey. Spitzer. Paterson. Christie. And now, Andrew Cuomo, who is facing calls to resign amid sexual harassment allegations. Cuomo's descent from the Emmy-winning pandemic leader declining to run for president last year to the politically wounded governor potentially getting drummed out of Albany is the latest example of the shifting fortunes for governors in the pandemic.
