New York Governor "Should Resign": Joe Biden After Harassment Report

Governor Andrew Cuomo denied inappropriate conduct and resisted immediate calls to quit after a probe found he harassed current and former New York state employees.

US President Joe Biden joined leading Democrats Tuesday in calling on powerful New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to resign after an independent investigation concluded that he sexually harassed multiple women. Cuomo, who drew praise nationwide for his early pandemic response, denied inappropriate conduct and resisted immediate calls to quit after the probe found he harassed current and former New York state employees. But his position was looking increasingly untenable late Tuesday after Biden and House speaker Nancy Pelosi said the three-term governor should step down and state lawmakers moved to impeach him. "I think he should resign," Biden told reporters in Washington.
