U.S. President Joe Biden has called on New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to resign after an investigation found that he had sexually harassed 11 women.
Mr Biden, at a White House press conference on Tuesday, said he believed the prominent democrat should resign.
When asked if the governor should be impeached, Mr Biden said, “Let’s take one thing at a time here.”
“I think he should resign. I understand that the state legislature may decide to impeach, I don’t know that for a fact. I haven’t read all that data,” the president said.
Mr Biden added that he had not read the report or spoken to Mr Cuomo.
An investigation found Cuomo sexually harassed nearly a dozen women.
New York: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has faced mounting pressure to resign, including from President Joe Biden and other onetime Democratic allies, after an investigation found he sexually harassed nearly a dozen women and worked to retaliate against one of his accusers. I think he should resign, Biden told reporters Tuesday, echoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and New York s US Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, all Democrats.
The leader of the state Assembly, which has the power to bring impeachment charges, said it was clear Cuomo could no longer remain in office. Speaker Carl Heastie, a Democrat, said he would move to complete an impeachment inquiry as quickly as possible.
