New York State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins has called for Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to resign amid multiple sexual harassment allegations recently waged against him.
“Everyday there is another account that is drawing away from the business of government,” Stewart-Cousins said in a statement released Sunday. “We have allegations about 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,” she added. “We need to govern without daily distraction. For the good of the state Gov. Cuomo must resign.”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) said Monday there is “no way” he will resign in the wake of allegations of sexual harassment, despite calls for him to step down.
His statement comes after he cited an independent investigation by Attorney General Letitia James’s office that Cuomo’s office has signed off on, the
“[James] is very good, she’s very competent, and that will be due process and then we’ll have the facts. That’s why Senator [Chuck] Schumer said let the Attorney General do her investigation, Senator [Kirsten] Gillibrand said let the Attorney General do her investigation, Congressman [Hakeem] Jeffries said let the Attorney General do her investigation, the White House spokesperson said let the Attorney General do the investigation, because that’s democracy. So no, there is no way I resign,” Cuomo said in a press briefing Monday.
