Democrats call for resignation of NY governor

  


NEW YORK - New York Governor Andrew Cuomo faces strong pressure to resign, including from President Joe Biden and other former Democratic allies, after an investigation found that he sexually harassed 11 women and acted to retaliate against one of his accusers.

 "I think I should resign," Biden told reporters on Tuesday, a message similar to those enunciated by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, and the federal senators of New York, Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, all Democrats.

 The Speaker of the State Assembly, Democrat Carl Heastie, who has the authority to press charges for impeachment, said it was clear that Cuomo could not continue in office. Heastie said he will take steps to complete an impeachment inquiry "as soon as possible."
