(CNN) -
A majority of New York State Assembly members, 80 Democrats and Republicans, told CNN they would vote "yes" to an impeachment of Governor Andrew Cuomo if this possibility is enabled.
New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women and created a "hostile" work environment for women, according to a report released Tuesday by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Cuomo repeatedly denied those allegations.
The New York State Assembly would be tasked with conducting the vote to determine whether to impeach Cuomo, in accordance with the New York State Constitution.
