Out with the old, in with the new! NY Governor Kathy Hochul moved into executive mansion less than an HOUR after Andrew Cuomo's final possessions were removed

Just a few hours after crews were spotted throwing out the last of former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's belongings, Kathy Hochul was seen moving into the executive mansion in Albany with her family. Hochul, 62, officially took office as the new New York governor on Tuesday, after Cuomo resigned amid a sexual harassment scandal in which the state attorney general found he sexually harassed 11 different women while in office.
