Andrea Stewart-Cousins, the top Democrat in the New York state Senate, called on Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to resign on Sunday after two additional women accused him of inappropriate behavior.
“New York is still in the midst of this pandemic and is still facing the societal, health and economic impacts of it,” the state Senate majority leader said. “We need to govern without daily distraction. For the good of the state Governor Cuomo must resign.”
Stewart-Cousins’ latest comments follow her declaration last week that she would call on Cuomo to resign if another woman came forward. At the time, three women had made allegations against him.
