NEW YORK, 8 March, 2021 (TON): On Sunday, the three-term Governor Andrew Cuomo lost support from the two top Democrat legislatures.

The move appeared amid mounting allegations of sexual harassment and undercounting COVID death rate in nursing homes.

It is time for the Governor to seriously consider whether he can effectively meet the needs of the people of New York, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said.

On Saturday, two more women who worked for Cuomo publicly accused him of inappropriate behavior.

NY State Senator, Stewart-Cousins said in a statement, “New York is still in the midst of this pandemic and is still facing the societal, health, and economic impacts of it. We need to govern without daily distraction. For the good of the state, Governor Cuomo must resign.”

Her public push for his resignation came shortly after a Sunday press conference where Cuomo said it would be “anti-democratic” for him to step down.

“There is no way I resign,” Cuomo said.

Cuomo seemed to say that they don’t override the people’s will; they don’t get to override elections for he was elected by the people of New York State.

Reports state that others who have called for Cuomo’s resignation include U.S. Rep. Kathleen Rice, a Long Island Democrat.
