Democratic fundraising behemoth ActBlue removed New York’s Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo from its platform on Thursday following a scathing report from the state’s attorney general detailing sexual harassment of 11 state employees, according to an Axios report.
The decision by ActBlue, used universally by Democratic candidates across the country, came two days after a Washington Free Beacon report on the precedent set by the platform when it removed a Kansas state representative from the platform last summer. Cuomo, who has been New York’s governor for the past decade and was just last year viewed as a presidential contender, is the highest-profile politician ever to be removed from the fundraising platform.
