Kathy Hochul is now the Governor of New York and was sworn in on August 24. It happened two weeks after former governor Andrew Cuomo announced his resignation. Cuomo was forced to step down following mounting public pressure given the multiple scandals he is embroiled in.
Kathy Hochul commented on the allegations against Cuomo through some tweets on August 3. She wrote,
“Sexual harassment is unacceptable in any workplace and certainly not in public service. The AG’s investigation has documented repulsive & unlawful behavior by the Governor towards multiple women. I believe these brave women and admire their courage coming forward. No one is above the law.”
In her first remarks as governor-in-waiting on August 11, Hochul stiff-armed Cuomo and promised to ditch his aides tied to unethical practices, as revealed in state Attorney General Letitia James’ report.
