Eric Adams says Cuomo quitting ‘necessary’ for NY to move forward

Democratic mayoral nominee Eric Adams said Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s decision to step down while battling sexual harassment claims was imperative for state government to continue handling COVID-19 and other pressing matters.  

“The governor’s resignation was necessary for New York State to move forward and continue the critical work of our recovery,” Adams said in a statement Tuesday “I look forward to working in partnership with Lieutenant Governor Hochul on the key issues affecting our city and region at this pivotal moment,” Adams said.
