NEW YORK, 13 March, 2021 (TON):  Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo lost support of the two, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, demanding Cuomo’s resignation over allegations of sexual harassment.

Schumer and Gillibrand said in a joint statement, "Confronting and overcoming the Covid crisis requires sure and steady leadership. We commend the brave actions of the individuals who have come forward with serious allegations of abuse and misconduct."

"Due to the multiple, credible sexual harassment and misconduct allegations, it is clear that Governor Cuomo has lost the confidence of his governing partners and the people of New York. Governor Cuomo should resign," it added.  

"I did not do what has been alleged. Period," Cuomo said in a call with reporters. "I never harassed anyone, I never assaulted anyone, I never abused anyone," Cuomo said earlier Friday.

"I'm not going to resign. I was not elected by the politicians, I was elected by the people," Cuomo added. "People know the difference between playing politics, bowing to cancel culture, and the truth," he added.  

After accusations of mismanagement of COVID measures and a series of sexual harassment allegations, Cuomo finds himself isolated and rapidly lost support.
