New York Governor David Paterson has decided to withdraw from the race for governor and will not seek election this year, a top Democratic official told NBC News.
Paterson is expected to announce his decision later Friday.
Paterson was elected lieutenant governor and ascended to the top posttwo years ago when former Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned amid a prostitution scandal.
Recently, the governor has been under fire for having contacted a woman who accused one of his top aides of domestic violence.
The decision would clear the way for Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who is the favorite of many Democrats, to seek the nomination unimpeded.
Not like this wasn't coming. Question now is how will Cuomo handle the investigation into Paterson's aide?
