Faced with universal demands for him to step down and clearly unable to govern, Gov. Andrew Cuomo did the only sane thing: He tendered his resignation. Good riddance. Now Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul will take over at a key moment for the state.She’s largely unknown and untested — but good signs abound: The Buffalo native has called herself “an independent Democrat” and got her start in politics as an aide to Rep. John LaFalce and the late, great Sen. Pat Moynihan, both independent-minded liberals.When then-Lt. Gov. David Paterson took over in 2008 after a prostitution scandal forced out Gov. Eliot Spitzer,

She will do as she is told, or she will not last long.

Another hard faced communist death democrat harridan who will fanatically continue the goal of the imposition of a communist style government on the stupid clowns of New York State. She hates the Second Amendment with a passion.
Why are democrat communist female politicians so hate filled and determined to destroy us all?

Well . . . she has the "D" after her name. I really don't expect much good to come from this.

She's just another commie. There are no independent Democraps, just as there are no blue dogs or yellow dogs anymore. They were purged from the party long ago.
Just remember - Xiden is said to be a moderate Democrap, too.

A person I know well has met her in her capacity of her work (first responder and a trainer for first responders) and said that she was a nice, reasonable, and interested person, and she was impressed, even though she is a Republican. I am hopeful considering who she got her political training from - Daniel Moynihan- who decried the wreck of the social program AFDC as a lone D voice in the Senate- saying it had led to the destruction of the black family. And he was completely right- back in 1960, black families in the US got married and stayed married more than white families.

Unless she investigates the nursing home deaths (which she is complicit in) she's just another communist cog in the Democrat machine.

"Here's to the new boss...same as the old boss" (Interesting that the line comes from The Who's "We Won't Get Fooled Again", and that you don't rise to the level she has without being a stalwart of the swamp, NY division).

what challenge??? she's a demcommie so, it's business as usual with not a step lost in the marching order - one party rule is anathema to a free society and we are losing much of that "freedom" as each day passes.

Can she be impeached for abetting Cuomo in his groping and then trying to help cover it up? If he goes to criminal court, she should be named as a co-conspirator.

Keep this one thing in mind. Como didn't take a fall over sexual harassment and most certainly not over the nursing home murder using harassment as a cover. No, he committed some other sin in the eyes of the radical left. If it was about sexual harassment Biden wouldn't be drooling in the oval office. There's another agenda behind the scenes. Hochul is either on board with the agenda or not in the way of it.

I wish I could get engaged in this battle...but... I really don't care...just as I don't give a rat's posterior what happens to Chicago's mayor slow foot ...the democrats will take her out soon because she's done for them what they needed... the black community in disarray and thugs running the streets... and yesterday I see that the cops turned their backs on her at a memorial for a fallen policewoman...good for them...

Why two weeks until she takes over? Is that how long it takes to learn how to be Governor of NYS? What if she objects to something Cuomo does in the meantime? The Dems have created a mischief gap by allowing Cuomo to remain for two weeks and I fully expect that it will be exploited in some awful way.

#19 asks: "Why two weeks until she takes over?"
Don't we all see - - it's because it was so "sudden" - - and she needs time to "acclimate." She's been Lieut. Gov. for 7 years - - but that's hardly enough time to learn such a "complex: job. But - - two more weeks should do it. Yup - - two more weeks - - and she'll jump right in.
We all believe that - - don't we?

Now that two of the last three NY governors have been removed due to their sexual immoralities, not sure what NY's dim party brings to the table. But, then too many NY voters don't seem to expect much.

She will no doubt scripted daily from her lefty benefactors. NYC can't get a break. They get what they give. ...No wonder their population is apparently to be replaced with the illegal border crossers. This does not bode well for the USA.

Here in New York, the Governor and Lieutenant Governor have to be elected separately by their party to then run as a ticket in the general. Hochul (rhymes with "local") was NOT endorsed by Randy Andy who claimed he wanted "the people to speak" and so she barely won with about 53% of the vote against a black socialist nut job from Manhattan. Many say that behind the scenes he was actively trying to undermine her!
In the mean time, is Andy trying to work out a pardon for himself from her ... or does he need 14 days to rig something else?
No matter what, she was at many of the events where Handy Andy felt up some of the woman so she really can't pretend that she didn't enable him. She was very much aware of what was going on but said nothing. Look for her to get sand-bagged by the AG of New York the way Paterson was screwed by Cuomo when he was AG!
