NOW: Incoming New York governor speaks to reporters
The incoming governor of New York – and current Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul – is briefing the media for the first time since Gov. Andrew Cuomo's resignation.
A Buffalo native, Hochul is set to become the state's first female governor. She was first elected lieutenant governor of New York in 2014 as Cuomo's running mate and won reelection alongside him in 2018.
