she also made a comment about kathy hochul saying governor kathy hochul will be an extraordinary governor, "she understands the complexities and needs of our state. having seen -- been both a congresswoman and having been a lieutenant governor for the last several years, she's ready and able and capable of being an extraordinary governor and i look forward to supporting her and helping her as she turns toward governing our state in a very difficult and challenging time." there was also a fairly predictable comment from mayor de blasio, who has been a long-time political enemy and adversary of andrew cuomo's, saying that "make no mistake, this is the result of survivors bravely telling their stories. it was past time for andrew cuomo to resign. it is for the good of all of the people of new york." so there you have it. andrew cuomo resigning under fire, trying to pivot to his legacy by resigning, hoping to avoid impeachment. and if impeachment ends, could ban him forever from trying to revive his political career and run again. and that does it for us for this extraordinary edition of "and

governor andrew cuomo that he will step down from office in two weeks means that lieutenant governor kathy hochul, is poised to become the first woman governor of new york state. once she steps into that role in two weeks time hochul will cease of course being lieutenant governor of the state. according to state law the person who will temporarily replace her as lieutenant governor is our next guest, the president of the state senate in new york, the majority leader in the state senate. she'll also now be acting as lieutenant governor of the great state of new york. her name is senator andrea stewart-cousins. she's led the democratic party in the new york state senate since 202. that makes her the first woman to lead a state party in new york. she'll soon be the first black woman to serve as the state's lieutenant governor. but that is happening under these extraordinary circumstances that have been a long time in coming. andrea stewart cousins called on governor andrew cuomo to resign all the way back in march. today he finally did. democratic majority leader andrea stewart-cousins, of the new y

what do we know about kathy hochul. >> reporter: yeah, like you said she is prepared? she has been preparing we're told by sources ever since that report came out last week, talking to her staff, talking to people who have served in this position before trying to figure out what staff she may keep, what staff may need to go, how she is going to continue governing this state that was hit so hard during the pandemic, is still going through the pandemic. so this is something that she has really been doing her studying on, at least within the last week or so. but she has been by the governor's side as the lieutenant governor since 2014, and she, we're told, has really been a lawmaker who has been at every level of government from the local level to now being the highest office in the state of new york. so there is a lot of welcoming presence for a woman especially to be the first woman to lead this state, but i also want to point out, victor, something my colleague pointed out. this will now be three women with major leading roles in the state of new york once she takes of

but i believe kathy hochul will not abu her position of power.i don't think she will use threats, abusers staffers come and that we need to take this moment to transform the deeply corrupt and usive and toxic culture of albany. and i would be pushing her to be -- lead as a progressive governor. and i said this before, this is the moment for the state legislature in new york. it is a moment to stop looki at individual leaders and look at the small d democratic moment so we can look at assemblywoman niou who deleting on legislation to drive with funding for schools and infrastruures, for building new york and that requires both a change in our understanding of what is possible in new york, but also a wholehearted rejection of granting anye souch power to be so abusive as andrew cuomo has. amy: zephyr teachout, thank you for being with us, professor of law at fordham university. 2014, she ran for the democratic party nomination for new york governor against incumbent andrew cuomo. thank you to democratic assemblywoman yuh-line niou. two major spendi

let's start with who is kathy hochul?ound the country may have never seen her or heard her voice. this is her speaking back in 2019 at an event about women in politics. >> to the younger women in this room, i guess i don't count myself in that anymore. that's all right. state of mind. it's because of you and all of us working together that we finally started to achieve real progress. >> a friend of hers brian higgins who's in the state legislative in buffalo, a democrat, says she is tough but compassionate. who is the next governor of new york? >> first and foremost, she is a daughter of buffalo. that's known in western new york. she was a former member of congress. she represented the buffalo area. for the last couple of years she has been governor andrew cuomo's lieutenant governor. he tapped her to run on his ticket back in 2014 when he was running for reelection. at the time service seen as an effort to campaign beside a woman and also campaign with someone who had connections to the rest of the state, to western new

in my view, the advantage has to be given to kathy hochul.he will be acting governor if governor cuomo leaves. host: former chair of the d triple c, as you know the president's incumbent party usually loses seats in a midterm election since world war ii. what is the path to defying that trend in 2022 for congressional democrats? guest: i have a different view of the conventional wisdom that the democrats are going to lose their majority and as many as 20 or 30 seats. if you probe the history, you will learn the exceptions to that rule of the president's party losing seats, the first exception was 1934 and the next was in 2002. why did fdr pick up seats in 1934 and why did george w. bush pick up seats in his first midterm in 2002? in both cases the country was emerging from existential crisis , the depression in the 1930's, 9/11 and 2002. the president was blazing a path of hope for the electorate. they did not want a check for his policies. the voters of 1934 did not want republicans checking fdr's policies because they thought those policies

thanks for joining us on this simple question, who is kathy hochul. >> kathy hochul comes out of buffalo, which already makes her unique in new york. no governor has come from buffalo since grover cleveland. she is a long time local politician who rose up in 2011 to win a special election that no one expected democrats to when at the midpoint of barack obama's political fortunes. in 2014 she was picked by cuomo to be his running mate because he needed someone who was popular in western new york, but not someone he viewed as inherently politically threatening to him. now the longest serving lieutenant governor right now in the united states as cuomo's number two focusing on economic development, traveling the state without playing a key role in actually everything cuomo was doing, which is a net plus and a net minus at this point. >> i'm hearing the first test for the lieutenant governor lb whether or not she advises the assembly to pursue or continue to pursue the impeachment investigation and impeachment following that, the impeachment trial, despite

i know you were watching closely as we heard from the incoming governor kathy hochul.e not close. what do we know about their working relationship? >> reporter: well, we know they haven't spoken in months. she reiterated and made that point. she was trying to strike a balance between showing this is new leadership, she's ready to step in and lead. she does not have ties to the cuomo administration. but she will assure people that she's ready to do this. you have to let people know in state government, even investors with new york state bonds know it will be steady, a smooth transition. and i think she hit the right notes. >> she was very firm and decisive. hochul made it clear that although she supports many of cuomo's policies, she's not afraid to clean house in the executive chamber, right? >> reporter: yes, she was asked about the attorney general's report, there are a number of current cuomo staffers, will they have the possibility to stay on her staff? she said, anyone listed in the report will not be a part of her administration. but certainly, it was another sor
