He is a high level career politicians and therefore has friends in the right places so the procedural things that need to happen for him to be impeached will simply not happen unless there's a reason.

The party will depose him eventually because they don't want people known to have those skeletons in their closet but it will either happen quietly later (i.e. he won't seek further political office and will get a cushy board job somewhere), or if in the near future the party needs to look like it's tough on incompetence or tough on sexual misconduct he'll be the sacrificial lamb.

Welcome to single party state politics.

Also his last re-election was a joke, "somehow" his only primary challenger was a nobody and literally not a politician, so he won that handily, and then beat his Republican opponent more or less on the grounds of being not-a-Republican. It sucks.

The last thing anywhere else needs are people who have NY politics within their overton window.

Not everyone has the luxury of being able to move, and a lot of places are worse anyway.
