Hickenlooper just did in Colorado.

Sununu (also son of a governor) is being courted by Republicans to attempt it in NH.
But I think the AOC point is that no Governor has ever tried to transition to a member of the House of Representatives.
Oh wait. That creep Mark Sanford in South Carolina who cheated on his wife and then left for Chile. He came back and became a member of the House.
As for Cuomo he will go down like Nixon. When he realizes that impeachment is inevitable he will step down. However it might not become inevitable. He is using Trump like tactics or at lest he may be using $18 million to threaten to campaign against anybody who votes to impeach.
As for the Covid mishandling he did some things very wrong and then tried to suppress it. But he also did some things very right.
At first I thought this whole thing was overblown. But if he groped women without consent then he has to go. Similarly with forcibly kissing women on the lips. And there seem to be witnesses.
If his reaction had been that he had been wrong to do those things and needs to get some help I think he maybe could have survived. But to launch attacks on people who were his accusers is unacceptable.
