President Biden said New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo should resign if an investigation supports the sexual misconduct claims made by his accusers.
“If the investigation confirms the claims of the women, should he resign?” ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos asked Tuesday. More of the interview was scheduled to air on the network Wednesday morning.
“Yes,” Biden responded. “I think he’ll probably end up being prosecuted, too.”
Seven women have come forward in recent weeks accusing the embattled Democrat of unwanted touching, inappropriate comments, forcibly kissing an aide on the lips, and groping a staffer at the governor’s mansion.
Cuomo, however, remains defiant and is resisting calls to resign, blaming “cancel culture” while calling for the investigation to continue.
Meanwhile, his nursing home scandal also continues to grow as his administration is being accused of covering up the state’s COVID nursing home deaths following his controversial policy ordering assisted living facilities to accept COVID-positive patients.
