Andrew Cuomo Announces Resignation as Governor of New York

  by Wendell Husebø

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) announced on Tuesday that he will resign his office in 14 days after an investigation found he sexually harassed multiple women.

“The best way I can help now is if I step aside and let government get back to governing,” Cuomo said in a noon press conference.

Cuomo thanked “the women who came forward with sincere complaints,” and said that “In my mind, I’ve never crossed the line with anyone. But I didn’t realize the extent to which the line has been redrawn.”

“You taught me and you taught others an important lesson,” he concluded.

The third-term governor’s decision, which will take effect in two weeks, was announced as momentum built in the Legislature to remove him by impeachment and after nearly the entire Democratic establishment had turned against him, with President Joe Biden joining those calling on him to resign.

The move came a week after New York’s attorney general released the results of an investigation that found Cuomo sexually harassed at least 11 women.
