Dem Governors of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Rhode Island Call on Cuomo to Resign

Four Democratic governors from neighboring states urge New York Governor Andrew Cuomo resign from office.

On Tuesday, Governors from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Rhode Island issued a joint statement following a report from New York Attorney General Letitia James regarding sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo.

“This is a sad day for New York because independent investigators have concluded that Governor Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women and, in doing so, broke the law,” said Attorney General James. “I am grateful to all the women who came forward to tell their stories in painstaking detail, enabling investigators to get to the truth. No man — no matter how powerful — can be allowed to harass women or violate our human rights laws, period.”

President Joe Biden has also called on Cuomo to resign as well.
