0:48Now PlayingWith New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s announcement Tuesday that he will be resigning over sexual harassment allegations, Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul is set to become the Empire State’s first woman governor.
Hochul, 62, will succeed Cuomo once his resignation goes into effect in 14 days.
“Kathy is absolutely ready,” Erie County Democratic Party Chairman Jeremy Zellner previously told The Post.
“There’s one word that describes our lieutenant governor: tenacious,” continued Zellner, pointing to Hochul’s ability to appeal to rural and urban Democrats alike. “She’s been a bulldog from day one. She knows what needs to get done for the people of New York.”
In a damning report commissioned by state Attorney General Letitia James and compiled by independent investigators, 11 women — including current and former state staffers — were deemed credible in their allegations that Cuomo sexually harassed them.
