Embattled New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to give farewell address on last day in office

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo began his last day on the job Monday with his top aid releasing a statement on his behalf, saying Cuomo "has no interest in running for office again" after resigning this month over sexual harassment allegations by multiple women that would have led to his likely impeachment. The 63-year-old Cuomo is set to leave office at 11:59 p.m. Monday, and his replacement, Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul, will be sworn in as New York's first woman governor at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday by the state's chief judge, Janet DiFiore, in a private ceremony at the state capitol in Albany. Cuomo is scheduled to deliver a farewell address to New Yorkers on Monday afternoon. On Monday morning, Melissa DeRosa, secretary to the governor, issued a statement on Cuomo's immediate plans when he leaves the job he claimed a decade ago, one once held by his late father, Mario Cuomo.
