New York’s Governor, Andrew Cuomo, resigns a week after State Attorney General Letitia James released the findings of the investigation into allegations he sexually harassed 11 women.
Earlier today, he explained why stepping down would be the best thing for the citizens of New York.
Cuomo has been governor since 2011. His resignation will be effective in 14 days.
New York Assembly Speaker Carl E. Heastie, who would have presided over Cuomo’s impeachment, released the following statement:
“This has been a tragic chapter in our state’s history. Governor Cuomo’s resignation is the right decision. The brave women who stepped forward were heard. Everyone deserves to work in a harassment-free environment. I have spoken with Lieutenant Governor Hochul and I look forward to working with her.”
When Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul takes over as governor, she’ll become the first female governor of New York.
