Background reading:
Last week, the release of a 165-page report (https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/2021.08.03_nyag_-_investigative_report.pdf?smid=pc-thedaily) by the New York State attorney general prompted multiple calls for Mr. Cuomo to resign (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/03/nyregion/cuomo-biden-sexual-harassment.html?smid=pc-thedaily), including from President Biden, a longtime ally of the governor.
Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/10/nyregion/andrew-cuomo-resigns.html?smid=pc-thedaily), a Democrat, will be sworn in to replace Mr. Cuomo, becoming the first woman in New York history to occupy the state’s top office.
