WHO REPLACED CUOMO PROFESSIONAL

In 2011, Hochul was elected to Congress in a largely Republican district that spanned from Buffalo to Rochester, according to the Times profile. Daniel Patrick Moynihan and later held local positions, including on the town board in Hamburg, which is in the western part of New York, and as the clerk of Erie County, according to her campaign website.

Hochul was no stranger to politics before she became the second lieutenant governor of Cuomo's three terms. 'Sexual harassment is unacceptable in any workplace, and certainly not in public service,' Hochul said in a Twitter post. Last week she called the allegations against him by 11 women 'repulsive and unlawful.'

Hochul and Cuomo have hardly any personal or professional relationship and she has not spoken to him since February, the Times profile said. Hochul has traveled to all 62 counties in the state every year during her tenure. Where he prefers to work out of his office in New York City, Hochul has kept up a frenetic travel schedule across the state for years, sometimes making five stops a day, according to a recent profile in The New York Times. Since first joining the Cuomo team in 2014, Hochul has carved out a role for herself as a sort of counterweight to Cuomo. Biden is expected to speak with her 'in the coming days,' a senior White House official told NBC News. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Tuesday that President Joe Biden has not yet spoken with Hochul but the administration looks forward to working with her. 'She is ready and able and capable of being an extraordinary governor, and I look forward to supporting her and helping her as she turns towards governing our state, in a very difficult and challenging time,' the senator said. 'She understands the complexities and needs of our state having been both a congresswoman, and having been lieutenant governor for the last several years,' Gillibrand said.
