ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has avoided public appearances for days as some members of his own party call for him to resign over sexual harassment allegations.
The governor hasn’t taken questions from reporters since a Feb. 19 briefing, an unusually long gap for a Democrat whose daily, televised updates on the coronavirus pandemic were must-see TV last spring.
He was last before video cameras Thursday, when he introduced President Joe Biden at a virtual meeting of the National Governor’s Association, which he chairs. He also participated Tuesday in the group’s conference call, which was off-limits to reporters.
The public absence was more glaring after legislative leaders announced Tuesday they were limiting the governor’s broad powers to unilaterally set state policy during the pandemic.
The governor is also facing criticism for withholding, for months, a full accounting of the number of nursing home residents who died of COVID-19.
Under the bill, Cuomo would still have the power to keep alive his existing COVID-19 rules or tweak them. But he’ll no longer be allowed to make decisions without any input from the Legislature. He’ll have to notify legislative committees and local governments and respond to their questions in certain circumstances.
Neither Cuomo nor his spokespeople have commented on the latest allegation made against him Monday night.

It’s just a diversion from his real crimes. Killing seniors in nursing homes!
Oh. So Sleepy Joe found someone to rent out his basement while he’s in DC.
Following Bidens lead. lol
What about all those people that died from his negligence? They don’t matter to democrats?
He’ll keep his job and get re-elected. Democrats are not accountable, from Clinton (both of them), to Northrup and Biden. They don’t even try to hide their corruption or perverse behavior any longer. They just lie and the media backs them up.
He needs to be ripped out of his cave and thrown into Riker, tried for mass murder and sent to death row which means life in a cell in Sing Sing.
despicabley arrogant man..................hiding
Nat’l Govs Association should insist he resign.
Aren’t there more R Govs than Dems?
I realize several are RINOs.
Exactly. If the media’s pandemic foil to Trump suddenly becomes a liability to Democrats for murdering seniors and covering up the statistics, better to try and get him out for sexual harassment.
Prediction: he’s not going anywhere and will be pretty comfortably reelected next year. Governor Blackface is still running Virginia. Just gotta wait it out until the outrage dies down.
I wonder if the reason they are allowing this to happen is so that Hillary can run for governor
They’re already skating. Cuomo’s big problem is not the murders but the admitted cover up.
Based on what he need to nursing home residents, he should resign immediately. It’s pathetic that he remains in office.
Story ignored by media.
It helps to think of the media as criminal defense lawyers with elected Democrats as their clients. They ignore all damning evidence until they can’t and then spin and deflect the rest of the way.
