An unusually contrite Gov. Cuomo apologized on Wednesday after being accused of sexual misconduct by three women, two of them former aides. But he refused to resign, and said that he’s never touched anyone inappropriately.
NY1’s Zack Fink, Juan Manuel Benítez, and Courtney Gross comment on the governor’s first public appearance since these allegations came to light and discuss how Albany power players are reacting to Cuomo’s apology.
And in the race for mayor, they explain what petitioning is and why it can be significant, and they give an update on the most recent endorsements.
We want to hear from you, especially what you think about Cuomo’s apology:
