The Democrats who could take Cuomo's place
Most leading operatives and Democratic politicians in the state are still not eager to publicly discuss the famously vindictive governor’s vulnerability, but some quietly acknowledge Cuomo could be damaged enough to attract a long line of primary contenders — including some with enough clout to shore up key voting blocs in New York City.
"Whether he resigns or not, there will be no shortage of candidates in 2022,” said a person with ties to one potential Democratic candidate, speaking anonymously so as not to anger Cuomo. “Donors and consultants have begun reaching out to prospective candidates because they see the writing on the wall."
Here’s a look at some of the officials about whom people are talking as they consider the possibility of a post-Cuomo New York, informed by interviews with more than a dozen people involved in state politics.
