New York's political culture has long been dominated by men. But when Andrew Cuomo steps down and Kathy Hochul takes over as governor, a majority of the most powerful figures in the state's government will be women.

The Democrat from western New York was to be sworn in as governor in the first minutes of Tuesday in a brief, private ceremony overseen by the state’s chief judge, Janet DiFiore.

Hochul will inherit immense challenges as she takes over an administration facing criticism for inaction in Cuomo’s final months. The economy remains unsettled. Jobs lost during the pandemic have been coming back, but unemployment remains double what it was two years ago.New York has also struggled to get federal relief money into the hands of tenants behind on their rent because of the pandemic, releasing just 6% of the budgeted $2 billion so far. Thousands of households face the possibility of losing their homes if the state allows eviction protections to expire.

How are the Dems gonna oust Cuomo, then ask him for his $18 million to give to the party. Uh. I think that's gonna be a big fat 'hell no !!'. Something about this political attack seems way off the mark.

This ain't looking good at all.

LaurenWern Watch how smoothly things will run now. 😁

Women are NOT powerful. The men behind the scenes are

She's no Cynthia Nixon. And that's the problem.

As long as they don’t resign in disgrace they’ll be better than the last few governors and AGs.

Awesome
