President Biden finally broke his silence on the growing scandals surrounding New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
As he returned to the White House yesterday after spending the weekend at his home in Delaware, Biden was asked by a pool reporter if Cuomo should resign.
“I think the investigation is underway and we should see what it brings us.”
From pool report:
REPORTER: 'Do you think Gov. Andrew Cuomo should resign?'
POTUS: 'I think the investigation is underway and we should see what it brings us.'

Both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris refused for weeks to publicly weigh in on the scandals as a growing number of women accused the governor of sexual harassment.
The White House repeatedly defended their silence by insisting that the president and vice president believe “every woman who has come forward deserves to have her voice heard” and “be treated with respect.”
On Friday, Sens. Kristen Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer joined the chorus of New York Congressional Democrats calling for Cuomo’s resignation.
Cuomo still refuses to resign and implied he is a victim of “cancel culture.”
In a conference call with reporters on Friday, Cuomo said, “There are facts and then there are opinions. And I’ve always separated the two. Politicians who don’t know a single fact, but yet form a conclusion and an opinion, are in my opinion reckless and dangerous.”
“The people of New York should not have confidence in a politician who takes a position without knowing any facts or substance. That, my friends, is politics at its worst. People know the difference between playing politics, bowing to cancel culture, and the truth,” he said.
Despite having served three terms as governor and marrying a Kennedy, Cuomo claimed he was not “part of the political club” and he’s “proud of it.”
“My entire life I have been under public scrutiny, since I was 23 years old and ran my father’s campaign. New Yorkers know me. Wait for the facts,” he said.
