 New York Governor Andrew Cuomo resigned on Tuesday following an inquiry that found he sexually harassed 11 women. He's a man once seen as a possible U.S. presidential contender. Cuomo had served since 2011 as governor of the fourth most populous U.S. state. The matter took five months to investigate. And I think that given the circumstances, the best way I can help now is if I step aside and let government get back to governing. And therefore that's what I'll do because I work for you and doing the right thing is doing the right thing for you. Because as we say, it's not about me. It's about we. Kathy Hochel, my Lieutenant Governor, is smart and competent. This transition must be seamless. We have a lot going on. I'm very worried about the Delta variant and so should you be. But she can come up to speed quickly and my resignation will be effective in 14 days. Andrew Cuomo's resignation has turned a spotlight on his Lieutenant Governor, Kathy Hochel, who will become the first woman to lead the state in its 233-year history. Hochel, a former Democratic congresswoman who has served as Lieutenant Governor since 2015, will take over from Cuomo until his third four-year term in office ends in December 2022.
