New York Governor Andrew Cuomo defiantly rebuffed calls for his resignation as more women have come forward with sexual harassment allegations against him, saying Sunday there is no way he will step down. But shortly after his press conference, New York State Senate Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, a Democrat, said he must resign. Everyday there is another account that is drawing away from the business of government, Stewart-Cousins said in a statement Sunday afternoon. We have allegations of sexual harassment, a toxic work environment, the loss of credibility surrounding the COVID-19 nursing home data, and questions about the construction of a major infrastructure project. New York is still in the midst of this pandemic and is still facing the societal, health and economic impacts of it. We need to govern without daily distraction. For the good of the state Governor Cuomo must resign.
The New York attorney general has named the two attorneys who will lead the investigation into the sexual harassment allegations against Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
