New York Governor Andrew Cuomo Resigns

He had faced several allegations of sexual harassment

Today, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced he was resigning after a report from the state's attorney general alleged he'd sexually harassed multiple women leading to calls from top Democrats, including President Joe Biden, that he step down.

"And 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," Cuomo said. "... 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."

He announced he'll leave office in 14 days while continuing to insist that he did nothing wrong.
