Andrew Cuomo resigns as New York governor in wake of sexual harassment scandal

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo resigned from his position on Tuesday, one week after state Attorney General Letitia James released a report that found he sexually harassed 11 women, including staffers and others who did not work for his administration.

"It was an honor to lead," Cuomo said in his closing remarks shortly following the announcement, noting that the transition will be effective "in 14 days." New York Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul will be his replacement and will serve as the state's first female governor.
