Calls for Gov. Andrew Cuomo's impeachment on Wednesday continued, as Queens Democratic Assemblywoman Jessica González-Rojas called for his removal as new reported details emerge of sexual harassment complaints made against him.

"I’ve had enough," González-Rojas wrote on Twitter last night in response. "Cuomo must be impeached."

The mounting allegations facing the governor is also leading some lawmakers to find a different solution, including having him step aside while an investigation is conducted.

Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul should serve as acting governor until Attorney General Letitia James's investigation into allegations of sexual harassment leveled against Cuomo is concluded, Democratic Assemblyman John McDonald on Wednesday evening said. 

"Since the Governor has said that he will not resign, I believe it is in the best interest of our state if Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul serves as Acting Governor until the Attorney General’s investigations, or any other potential inquiries, reach a conclusion or a removal determination under the law is made," said McDonald, a Capital Region Democrat who is considered a moderate member of the party's conference.

"These are serious allegations and the people of New York State need steady leadership without distraction."

The calls for change at the top of New York state government come as Cuomo is facing allegations of harassment or inappropriate behavior from six women.

The potentially most serious allegation was detailed by the Times Union on Wednesday evening, which reported the governor aggressively groped an aide at the Executive Mansion in Albany last year. Cuomo in a statement released through his office denied the allegation. 

"The details of this report are gut-wrenching," he said. "I am not going to speak to the specifics of this or any other allegation given the ongoing review, but I am confident in the result of the Attorney General's report."

Cuomo's administration since the start of the year has been engulfed in two crises that have seemingly snowballed every other day with new revelations. 

The governor is facing scrutiny for his handling of nursing homes during the pandemic, and the admnistration's reporting of resident fatalities during the pandemic. 

Meanwhile, allegations of sexual harassment from former aides have surfaced, as have stories by women of uncomfortable encounters with Cuomo. 

All this comes amid a state budget season and a push to vaccinate millions of New Yorkers in order to end a pandemic that began a year ago. McDonald in his statement signaled Cuomo's problems are becoming a distraction as the state faces the broader public health and economic crisis. 

"The public trust is fundamental when elected to public office. While there can be differences of opinion as to approach in accomplishing the will of those we represent, the people who elect us rightfully expect integrity and for us to be held to a higher standard," he said.

"Even one allegation of wrongdoing is enough to warrant a thorough investigation. There is no magic number of allegations that changes what is wrong and what is right. Everyone has a right to have their voice heard. We are at the point where Governor Cuomo is the subject of multiple investigations and the number of allegations continues to grow."

There have been bipartisan calls for Cuomo's resignation in the Legislature. Top Democratic leaders in the state Senate have called for Cuomo to resign this week, including Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins as well as her deputy, Sen. Mike Gianaris. 

Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie has said Cuomo should consider whether he can remain in office, though stopped short of explicitly calling for him to step down. 

Several Democratic lawmakers, however, have insisted James's investigation be given time, including Assembly Majority Leader Crystal Peoples-Stokes.

James's office has indicated the investigation, co-led by former federal prosecutor Joon Kim and employment discrimination attorney Anne Clark, would continue whether Cuomo remains governor or not.
