“#Lt. Gov. Hochul thinks she could replace Cuomo within weeks: report<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul believes she could be called on to replace Gov. Andrew Cuomo within weeks \u2014 and is getting ready to do so, according to a report Sunday.<\/p>\n

Hochul spoke by phone with advisers last week for guidance on her potential first steps as the state\u2019s first female governor, two people who received calls from her told the Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hochul, 62, also asked who she should hire for key jobs and which Cuomo app<\/a>ointees she should keep, the Journal said.<\/p>\n

An official in Hochul\u2019s office confirmed that she was receiving outside advice but said it wasn\u2019t based on knowledge of Cuomo\u2019s plans, the Journal said.<\/p>\n

The governor has ignored widespread calls to resign from everyone ranging from President Biden to random registered voters since state Attorney General<\/a> Letitia James on Tuesday released a blistering report that accused him of sexually harassing 11 women, including nine current or former state employees.<\/p>\n

But on Thursday, lawyers for the state Assembly\u2019s Judiciary Committee also told Cuomo, 63, that its impeachment investigation was \u201cnearing completion\u201d and gave him a Friday deadline to provide any information he wants the committee to consider before deciding whether to move against him.<\/p>\n

It has been five days since the New York Attorney General\u2019s report and Gov. Andrew Cuomo still hasn\u2019t resigned.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

If the Assembly were to impeach Cuomo, Hochul would automatically take over as governor pending the outcome of a trial in the state Senate.<\/p>\n

Hochul, a former US representative and Erie County clerk who was Cuomo\u2019s running mate in 2014 and 2018, has declined to publicly call on the three-term Democrat to resign since his sexual harassment scandal exploded in late February.<\/p>\n

But on Tuesday, she said the outside investigation that James commissioned \u201chas documented repulsive and unlawful behavior by the Governor towards multiple women.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one is above the law,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder the New York Constitution, the Assembly will now determine the next steps.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hochul hasn\u2019t communicated directly with Cuomo since James issued her report and his staff wasn\u2019t aware of her statement before she issued it, sources told the Journal.<\/p>\n

Cuomo has been in hiding since the report came out but released a pre-recorded video statement denying any wrongdoing and suggested he was the target of a political hit job.<\/p>\n

His lawyers on Friday also attacked some of his accusers and said the investigation of him was rigged.<\/p>\n
