3 August 2021: Biden Caves, Calls for Cuomo to Resign

Biden calls on Cuomo to resign after sexual harassment allegations

President Joe Biden drug his heels for as long as he could, but has caved and has called for Andrew M. Cuomo to resign as New York Governor.

An investigation found that Gov. Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed nearly a dozen women in and out of state government and worked to retaliate against one of his accusers, New York’s attorney general announced Tuesday, hastening calls for the Democrat’s resignation or impeachment.

President Joe Biden was among those who said Cuomo should resign, a high-profile condemnation from a onetime close ally.

“I think he should resign,” he told reporters Tuesday.

How much influence does President Biden really have with Andrew M. Cuomo? Or rather, how strong of a President is he?
