The calls for Cuomo’s resignation increased Friday, as 10 congressional representatives, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jamaal Bowman, Jerry Nadler, Carolyn Maloney and Mondarie Jones, issued statements urging the governor to step down. Those 10 representatives joined Nicole Malliotakis, Elise Stefanik, Kathleen Rice, Claudia Tenney and Lee Zeldin, all of whom issued statements before Cuomo’s sixth and seventh accusers spoke up this week.

Both Schumer and Gillibrand were questioned this week about the allegations against the three-term New York governor, but both stopped short of calling for his resignation. Instead, both senators have called for New York Attorney General Letitia James’ to investigate the harassment claims. James appointed former Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney Joon Kim and Employment Discrimination Attorney Anne Clark to head up the probe on Monday.

“First, the allegations of these women are very, very troubling,” Schumer said on ABC’s The View Thursday. “The one last night was particularly nauseating. They all must be looked into. I’ve always strongly been against sexual harassment. It cannot, cannot be tolerated, and it’s been with us too long, and in too many instances.”

Schumer’s “last night” comment referenced allegations made by a former Cuomo aide who has remained anonymous. The Times Union reported her account of Cuomo’s alleged harassment on March 10 in which the woman said the governor called her to the executive mansion to assist with a technical problem, during that encounter she said Cuomo reached under her shirt and groped her.

On March 9, Gillibrand told Yahoo Fiance pushing for Cuomo’s resignation “isn’t the right conversation we should be having.”

“Asking every female elected in our state when a person should resign or not resign really isn’t the conversation we should be having. And I have to say, it’s exceedingly frustrating because so many men who are also in public leadership aren’t asked these questions day to day,” she said. “The women in our state are not meant to be judges, jurors and executioners.”

Gillibrand previously called Cuomo’s behavior described in the allegations “completely unacceptable,” but did not call for the governor to resign.

Newsweek reached out to Schumer and Gillibrand for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.

Regardless of the stance of New York’s two senators, the pressure for Cuomo to act is growing. Over half of the state’s Legislature had called for his resignation as of Friday. On Thursday, state Democratic lawmakers announced an impeachment inquiry into Cuomo’s actions over accusations his administration covered up the actual total of COVID-19-related nursing home deaths in the state, as well as the sexual harassment allegations.

So far, seven women have accused the governor of inappropriate behavior.

Lindsey Boylan, a former aide to Cuomo, was the first to accuse him of sexual harassment, writing in a Medium post that Cuomo had a “crush” on her.

“As I got up to leave and walk toward an open door, he stepped in front of me and kissed me on the lips,” she wrote in the blog post. “I was in shock, but I kept walking.”

Shortly after Boylan published her account, several others accused the governor of harassment, including three other former aides; Charlotte Bennett, Karen Hinton and Ana Liss. Anna Ruch, who met Cuomo at a wedding, and the unnamed aide whose allegations were published by the Times Union soon followed.

His seventh accuser, Jessica Bakeman, a former state capitol reporter, published an essay in New York Magazine Friday detailing her account of working around Cuomo. In the piece, she also made allegations of sexual harassment.

“Andrew Cuomo’s hands had been on my body — on my arms, my shoulders, the small of my back, my waist — often enough by late 2014 that I didn’t want to go to the holiday party he was hosting for the Albany press corps at the executive mansion,” Bakeman wrote.

Despite the calls to step down, Cuomo has denied the allegations and said Sunday there is “no way” he will resign.

“Let’s do the attorney general’s investigation, let’s get the findings, let’s go from there,” he said during a press conference.

Newsweek reached out to Cuomo’s office for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.
