Following an investigation by the New York attorney general’s office that concluded Andrew Cuomo sexually harrassed eleven women in violation of state and federal laws, Joe Biden called on the embattled governor to resign.
Back in March, Biden agreed that if the attorney general’s investigation confirmed the allegations against him Cuomo should resign. When asked on Tuesday if he still believed that, Biden said he would “stand by the statement.”
Biden was then asked directly if Cuomo should resign, to which he said, “Yes.” But he declined to say whether Cuomo should be impeached if he doesn’t resign.

Die detaillierten Vorwürfe sexueller Belästigung mehrerer Frauen haben den demokratischen Gouverneur des Bundesstaats New York, Andrew Cuomo, den Rückhalt seiner mächtigsten Parteifreunde gekostet.
