The Democrat from western New York was sworn in as governor in a brief, private ceremony in the New York State Capitol overseen by the state’s chief judge, Janet DiFiore.
For the first time, a majority of the most powerful figures in New York state government will be women, including state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Attorney General Letitia James and the chief judge, DiFiore. The state Assembly is led by a man, Speaker Carl Heastie. Big decisions lay ahead on whether to mandate masks or vaccines for certain groups, or whether to reinstate social distancing restrictions if the state’s latest wave of infections worsens. Hochul has said she favors making masks mandatory for schoolchildren, a contrast with Cuomo, who said he lacked that authority.The economy remains unsettled. Jobs lost during the pandemic have been coming back, but unemployment remains double what it was two years ago.

I hope she is better than he is.

Thank you for stepping up and being of service GovKathyHochul_
B52Malmet Good luck!!
Where does Cuomo rank in US history of political resignations?
Nothing bad happened here, but doesn’t “midnight power transfer” have a nefarious ring to it
TenikkaANjax Morning TenikkaANjax
I don't wish her ill will but . . . Cuomo should not go
Congratulations!
Now, forget your a democrat or republican and do whats right for all new yorkers and fellow Americans alike!!! Forget the status quo and do what your elected to do, work for the people, and you will go far with them!!!!
Correction: first trans female. Gotta hand it to Cuomo for getting the surgery though. Man is committed to the job.
B52Malmet Also... The former president committed treason, inciting the TrumpInsurrection and 𝙃𝙀 𝙍𝙀𝙈𝘼𝙄𝙉𝙎 𝘼𝙏 𝙇𝘼𝙍𝙂𝙀❗ NeverForgetJanuary6th ArrestTЯUMPNow 𝙎𝙪𝙗𝙥𝙤𝙚𝙣𝙖𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙢𝘼𝙡𝙡
Good. Here’s your chance to fix that shit hole, kill off mandates, lower crime rates, and do the damn job
Nobody cares what women think
Is she also taking over his dog?
Cuomo never should have done such a stellar job trying to save NYers lives. Had he sat back cowering in a corner no one would have noticed him but he didn’t.
We didn't vite for her!
Who cares? New Jersey has their first female Governor over 20 years ago in Christine Todd Whitman, who was elected twice and served in a presidential administration
So progressive.😁 Welcome to the modern age NY. Texas had two in the 20th century. Miriam Ferguson in the 1920s-1930s and Ann Richards in the 1990s.
About time New York, we elected our 1st female governor in the 80s. (Martha Layne Collins). 🙄 -- Kentucky
Historic
Here comes the spin. But 2024 the narrative will be she was first female elected governor of NY, and strong Presidential candidate.
Congratulations!
Yay
They went from dumb to dumber
andrewschulz did she check in?
did he grab her ass on the way out?
Does she get the dog too?
So NY now has an unelected, unproven, & basically, unknown entity in our Governorship in the middle of multiple crisises. Nice work NewYorkStateAG and nydems. She better be totally incredible or the next Governor is gonna be GOP. NYCoup
Thi is great news to Kathy Hochul
Hello I need a good and honest person that has experience in nanny,you will be paid $800 Weekly (you’ll get $400 advance payment once your application is received and approved,then you’ll get the balance of $400 end of the week). Interested applicants should contact me
I had no idea New York had never had a female Governor till now and come to think of it niether has California and these two are the most progressive it seems.
Be a great human please. Change the world.
Oooooo I love a good midnight power transfer!
I'm a Democrat applauding that we can. We can transfer power peacefully. We can hold our own accountable. We can go beyond what we were. We can. It really is the democrats platform. The whole reason I switched parties in the 80's, We Can.
Why doesn't the media and the FBI understand this? The facts may be inconvenient but they will never go away. __
First!?
All part of the plan.
Failing upwards
UNLEARN, RELEARN, CONFORM, So you can get out of that fix you’re in.
Cuomo wasn’t forced to resign for facilitating the deaths of more than 15,000 senior citizens instead celebrities were paid millions to call him future president. I’m glad he is gone but it’s hard to be happy seeing him fall victim to a palace coup
🤓
What accomplishments has she done? Im genuinely interested in her since she’s replacing probably the second worst governor ever
Looking forward to the new direction! About time for that family to be booted from NY politics. Hopefully she can establish her own agenda and move on from her disgraced predecessor.
Unelected governor
What a sham. Removing people with fake sexual harassment allegations is just dirty politics and does not help women at all.
corcarrasco First woman appointed not elected.
The fact that she came to power because of a conspiracy to overthrow her ruler with sexual harassment cases, although it happened a long time ago, but there are those who benefited from her rise. Reaching the top is hard, staying on top is even more difficult.
not much progress, at least she is not a despot, yet
Great she's from Buffalo. Maybe she can stop the theft of power and money from Buffalo that NYC has been getting away with for generations
SHOCKER
Woot! 🎆✨
What? We await more disasters? Don’t we have enough?
He really thought he was going to keep his job too 😒
A big first for New York! I wish her the best!
autumnbueno Will see
Did I hear correctly that HRC wants to run against Kathy Hochul for NY Governor. I hope she reconsiders, if true.
😒
Midnight Power Transfer is my favorite Jeff Lynn side project
please try to find out what happened to his dog, Captain. Thanks.
If you're religious you should know how anti Christian this is!!!
And she will get nothing done. Let’s see her get those old white Republicans to move.
I hope she does a great job.
Mujeres al poder
As Cuomo left office, Kathy Hochul became a first female governor of the state of New York and inherited a mess.
YAAAAASSSSSSSS QUEEEEN
She wanted that seat so bad. I hope she keeps that smile on her face to the end of the term.
Great now fix the fucking subway what have you been doing for the last 13 minutes (and welcome!)
Go get 'em! More power to you!
No thanks
