2:01Now PlayingDozens of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's fellow Democrats are defecting in light of the latest allegations of sexual harassment levied against the governor and other swirling scandals.
More than 55 Democratic state legislators issued a joint statement Thursday calling on Cuomo to resign as Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said he will host a meeting later in the day to assess "potential paths forward."
Some Democrats have refrained from saying the governor should step aside, instead urging patience as Attorney General Letitia James oversees an independent probe into the allegations against Cuomo.
Assemblywoman Patricia Fahy, D-Albany, was one of nearly two dozen Democratic lawmakers who signed off on a letter released earlier this week that said calls for resignation were premature. Fahy issued a statement Thursday reversing her position and calling on the governor to step down in light of the most recent accusations.
"The sixth one raises to a new level," she said.
Calls increased on Wednesday following reports that an aide claims the governor groped her and reached under her blouse late last year.
The Albany Times Union reported that the woman became emotional and told a superior about the incident last week while watching Cuomo deny he ever touched anyone "inappropriately" during a televised press conference.
Five other women, including four who worked for the governor throughout his career, have publicly accused Cuomo of misconduct or inappropriate behavior.
