When Kathy Hochul becomes New York’s governor in two weeks, cleaning up after Andrew Cuomo will be only one of her newfound problems. Hochul, the 62-year-old lieutenant governor, will take the top job after Cuomo announced his resignation Tuesday, saying harassment allegations against him prevent him from governing. New York and national politicians -- including President Joe Biden -- called on Cuomo to depart after a report by Attorney General Letitia James found he had sexually harassed 11 women. Hochul, who has served a long apprenticeship in Democratic state politics, will be interim executive until Cuomo’s current term finishes in December 2022. Messages seeking an interview Tuesday weren’t immediately returned. Hochul plans to hold a news conference in the governor’s Manhattan office Wednesday afternoon.
