He then said that the allegations were a \u201cdistraction,\u201d but that he needed to resign his office, regardless.<\/p>\n<p>The resignation will take effect in 14 days. When Cuomo officially steps down from his position, Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul, a little-known New York Democrat who has served with him for two terms, will assume office. Last week, Hochul called his behavior \u201crepulsive \u201d and \u201cunlawful,\u201d but declined to comment extensively, citing her place in the line of succession.<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo\u2019s decision to resign comes amidst mounting pressure from high-profile Democratic politicians, including President Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), over the allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct outlined in the attorney general\u2019s report.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"9.2862190812721\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BREAKING: New York Gov.
