The Australian Financial Review’s Aaron Patrick says the Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, is “now in serious decline”.

“Andrew Cuomo looks like an A-grade hypocrite because he’s been campaigning for equal treatment for women for years at the same time he’s been engaging in quite sleazy behaviour,” Mr Patrick told Sky News Australia.

“He is one of the giant figures of the Democratic Party in New York, and it seems like everybody wants him to go.

“The weight of opposition to him is so huge, that it is hard to see how he can withstand it.”
