Kathy Hochul became governor after Andrew Cuomo resigned in August 2021, following an investigation by the state attorney general that concluded that he had sexually harassed multiple women. Hochul had been elected lieutenant governor alongside Cuomo in 2014 and was serving in that role when he left office. She became governor on August 24, 2021, and later won election to a full term in November 2022. In 2026 Hochul won a second term as governor, defeating Republican Bruce Blakeman in the general election.
