joining us now, former new york mayoral candidate maya wiley and christine quinn former new york cityspeaker. christine, you know andrew cuomo. you supported him in the past. today, though, you tweeted "governor cuomo should resign. the investigation was independent. the p findings are incredulous. and i'm deeply saddened and disgusted by the findings." so do you think he will design? what do you think's going to happen here? >> i mean, knowing governor cuomo, he'll fight to the end. he'll fight too long and too hard. so i don't know that he will resign quickly, which would be the best thing for the state, quite frankly. if he doesn't resign, i am confident that speaker hasty and leader cousins will impeach and remove him. you know, it's a very sad day, john, for the state to have someone who many of us, you know, really believed in. you know, having it shown that he did these horrible things. i thought he was a great ally to women. i feel completely misled by this man. and he needs to get out of the governor's mansion so we can move on as a state, and he needs to face whatever the co

perspective now from christine quinn, former speaker for the new york city council who now serves as t of women in need. and kimberly waily, former federal prosecutor, and law professor at the university of baltimore. so, christine, cnn is reporting that governor cuomo was in a quote, fighting mood over the weekend. he's probably kind of always in a fighting mood. but even as aides tried to convince him to resign, how long can he keep fighting? i'm not sure who he is actually views himself as fighting against. but i mean, at a certain point, it becomes a disservice to the state of new york, i assume. >> it's a terrible disservice to the state of new york. i mean, think of all the work that needs to be done on the pandemic, on an inclusive economic recovery for the state. but andrew cuomo really has one gear, and that gear is fight. and when this all broke, last week, i thought he would take it into impeachment because he -- that's what he knows how to do is fight. he usually wins. and i can't really imagine, although i think it is the wrong decision, him stepping down. or not stepping

christine quinn, and former prosecutor with the new york district attorney's office.at to see all three of you. you have covered andrew cuomo for many years. you say his decision to step down today is stunning. why is that? >> look, it's both unsurprising and surprising, just to be clear. i don't think he had a choice. i think that he assessed the situation, he ran the string as long as he could and realized this was the best option because the other option was going through a pretty painful impeachment hearing. it's clear that the votes were there to remove him and to go through about hearing not just about these allegations but potentially about nursing home deaths or about his book deal. but it is surprising if you covered andrew cuomo and you know how much he likes to fight and how much he doesn't like giving in and how he generally goes kicking and screaming when he does back down. so the fact that he basically right after that combative statement from his lawyer and himself was, like, and i resign. it is a seismic shift in new york. >> right. i agree with you. i
