NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo Is RESIGNING Amid Sexual Harassment Allegations: “My Resignation Will Be Effective In 14 Days”
This Tuesday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced he will resign… just days after a report from the state’s attorney general alleged he’d sexually harassed multiple women. This also comes following calls from top Democrats, including President Joe Biden, that he step down.

Cuomo shared the big news during a live broadcast this afternoon. He said, “I think that given the circumstances the best way I can help now is if I step aside and let government get back to government, and therefore that is what I’ll do because I work for you, and doing the right thing, is doing the right thing for you.”
While announcing his resignation, he also shared a message to his three daughters. Cuomo, who has yet to be found guilty or liable said, “I want them to know from the bottom of my heart that I never did and I never would intentionally disrespect a woman, treat any woman differently than I would want them treated and that is the God’s honest truth.” He went on to say, “Your dad made mistakes. And he apologized, and he learned from it and that’s what life is all about.”
During the broadcast, Gov. Cuomo denied the allegations of sexual harassment but did say he takes “full responsibility” for making the 11 women who came forward uncomfortable.
He will leave office in 14 days.
