The number of Democrats in the US House of Representatives, representing New York and calling on Governor Andrew Cuomo to resign, increased on Friday to 11, the news portal Axios reported.

According to him, Congresswoman Kathleen Rice, who previously called on Cuomo to leave his post, was joined, in particular, by the chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Carolyn Maloney, and the chairman of the Legal Committee, Jerrold Nadler. Congressmen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman are also among those who made the call.
