There's a story Gov. Andrew Cuomo has often told over the years that is meant to highlight the humbling of those in power: When his father was moving into the Executive Mansion in Albany, the younger Cuomo saw outgoing Gov. Hugh Carey himself juggling with some moving boxes while walking down the staircase. 

The lesson Cuomo drew from this: When it's over, it's really over. 

But is it over yet for the governor? He's become isolated from his fellow New York Democrats, with the majority of the congressional delegation calling for him to resign as the right thing to do for the state. Democrats in Albany, meanwhile, are insisting on his resignation and moving toward an impeachment investigation. 

It's a dizzying fall for a governor who rose to national prominence a year ago. Cuomo now is facing scrutiny over his handling of nursing homes during the pandemic and whether the state under reported the deaths of residents.

More than a half-dozen women have leveled allegations of sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior against him, while former staffers have been emboldened in recent weeks to describe an office culture of bullying and intimidation. 

Cuomo has denied any wrongdoing. 

Still, even as prominent Democrats with national profiles like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez call for him to step down, Cuomo is yet to receive anything that would be considered a knockout blow by President Joe Biden or House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. 

Both are longtime allies for the governor, and on Sunday both backed waiting for Attorney General Letitia James's investigation to proceed -- mirroring what Cuomo himself has said in public. 

“I think the investigation is underway and we should see what it brings us,” Biden said on Sunday. 

Said Pelosi during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos": "Hopefully this result should be soon. What I am saying is the governor should look inside his heart, he loves New York, to see if he can govern effectively.”

It may be that for now Biden and Pelosi view this as a distinctly New York political crisis, one that is not affecting the broader agenda of the party in Washington. 

Cuomo himself was quiet over the weekend, as his office continued to pump out COVID-19 updates. 

On Friday in his most recent public remarks, Cuomo told reporters in a conference call he remains vital to a budget process as the state faces an economic crisis brought on by the pandemic. 

"I have a job to do. I've been doing it for 11 years. This is probably the most critical time in the state's history," Cuomo said. Everything that I have learned, in the federal government, as attorney general, as governor, I am bringing to the table at this moment."
