1:36Now PlayingPress secretary Jen Psaki said the White House was not given advanced notice that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo would announce his resignation on Tuesday, nor did President Joe Biden speak to him.
"Our view is that this is a story about these courageous women," Psaki told reporters on Tuesday.
As to Cuomo's replacement, the current Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul, Psaki said "we look forward to working with her and with a range of New York officials and continuing to deliver relief to the people of New York as we work to fight the pandemic, put people back to work and show people government can work for them."
Cuomo announced his resignation over a barrage of sexual harassment allegations in a fall from grace a year after he was widely hailed nationally for his detailed daily briefings and leadership during some of the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a televised address, the 63-year-old Democrat emphatically denied intentionally showing any disrespect toward women but said that fighting back against what he called the "politically motivated" attack on him would subject the state to months of turmoil.
