New York City councilman Joe Borelli said Monday he believes there are “more than enough” votes in the New York State Assembly and Senate to impeach Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D.

He was calling around very desperately last night from what I heard to Democratic legislatures and he is trying hard to make the case, that at least some people in the state are willing to not have calls for his resignation.”
