New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said Ciao before his sex harassment scandal-forced resignation takes effect tonight at midnight.
The second-generation member of a NY political dynasty catapulted into the national spotlight as a hero in the early days of the pandemic, as a result of his daily #COVID briefings must-see TV. No other USA politician has so expeditiously plunged from hero to zero on such a public stage.
He announced his resignation from office exactly two weeks ago after a sexual harassment allegations against him, will be replaced at exactly midnight on Monday by Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul.
He is being replaced by his little-known Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul. She is also a Democrat, who will assume the reins of power at midnight; she faces a series of challenges from the ongoing COVID crisis to budget wars, marijuana legalization, and crime.
The #MeToo movement proves this is no longer a man's world. Cuomo was accused by women, investigated by a woman, and replaced by another woman.
