Outgoing Governor Andrew Cuomo addressed the state of New York one last time in his farewell address on Monday, Aug. 23, hours before he is set to resign.
On Aug. 10, Cuomo announced that his resignation would take effect in 14 days, the announcement taking place days after state Attorney General Letitia James’ report which found accusations of sexual harassment by 11 women against Cuomo and a toxic workplace environment.
Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul is slated to replace Cuomo as New York State’s chief executive as of midnight on Tuesday, Aug. 24, with her official swearing-in ceremony taking place at 10 a.m.
