Andrew Cuomo stepped down amid allegations of misconduct that he categorically denied.<\/p>\n<p>In recent days, Hochul has targeted Florida and DeSantis. Several weeks ago, Hochul criticized Florida during a Holocaust memorial event.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2020\/05\/14\/Epoch_Times510A7903-1200x800.jpg\"><\/a> Rep.
