1:57Now PlayingIncoming New York Governor Kathy Hochul pledged to put the scandals plaguing Andrew Cuomo behind her and address the pandemic, economic recovery and other problems plaguing the state.
“In 13 days I will officially become the 57th governor of the state of New York,” she said. “Make no mistake, our work has already begun and I know this year and a half has been so challenging.”
Hochul, a Democrat, will become the first female governor when she takes over for Andrew Cuomo who resigned Tuesday from his position as governor of New York following a damaging report by New York Attorney General Letitia James which found he sexually harassed 11 women, many of whom worked for him.
Wednesday’s press conference was the first time the lieutenant governor addressed the public since Cuomo’s resignation, which will take effect in two weeks.
Following his resignation she said she agreed with Cuomo’s decision to step down and was “prepared to lead,” in a statement on Tuesday. Hochul, 62, will serve the remainder of Cuomo’s term through December 2022.
