3 August 2021: Calls for Cuomo Resignation Coming from Washington, D.C.

Schumer and Gillibrand call for Cuomo’s resignation in wake of AG report

This isn't a change, in that both of New York's U.S. Senators had previously called for Andrew M. Cuomo's resignation. It's significant however in that their renewed call may influence whether President Biden joins them in calling for Cuomo's resignation, which he has held back from doing since Cuomo is one of his political allies.

“As we have said before, the reported actions of the Governor were profoundly disturbing, inappropriate and completely unacceptable,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said in a statement. “Today’s report from the New York State Attorney General substantiated and corroborated the allegations of the brave women who came forward to share their stories — and we commend the women for doing so.”

They concluded: “No elected official is above the law. The people of New York deserve better leadership in the governor’s office. We continue to believe that the Governor should resign.”
