On August 24th, local time, Cathy Hochul, Chief Hochul, was formally sworn in, becoming the first female governor of New York State in the history of the United States.

She will complete the remaining 16 months of Como's term.

  Hochul, 62, is a Democrat and has served as Lieutenant Governor of New York State since 2015.

In the morning, Hochul attended the swearing-in ceremony in Albany, the seat of the state government.

  At the press conference after the ceremony, Hochuer said: "I hope people will trust their government again. Our strength comes from the trust and confidence of the people who hold us in public office, and I take this very seriously."

  After Hochuer took office, he faced a series of severe challenges. The first task was to deal with the rebound of the new crown epidemic and restore the long-term economic downturn.

Hochuer said last week that once she became the governor, she would be forced to wear a mask on campus. The former governor Cuomo had delayed this policy again and again.

  With Huochul formally taking over the post of Governor of New York State, there are currently 9 female governors in the United States.
