Their cautious words contrast with those of other Democratic Party officials, including Nancy Pelosi’s Senate counterpart Chuck Schumer, who explicitly called on Andrew Cuomo to step down. “The investigation is underway and we must see what it will bring”Joe Biden said as he stepped off the presidential Marine One helicopter.
The women who denounced the governor “Must be taken seriously”, “Their accusations are credible and serious”, Nancy Pelosi said earlier on ABC. “The governor loves New York, he must search his heart to see if he can still run the state effectively”, she added. Eight women have, since February, denounced the inappropriate gestures and words of Andrew Cuomo, including a former employee who accused him of putting his hand under his blouse in 2020.
