The New York governor, Kathy Hochul, has called on the Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, to resign over the nationwide ground stop, according to ABC News and Fox News.
Fox News reports that she made the call in a social media post on Saturday. It quotes her as writing:
"We're fortunate no lives were lost."
It is the first call from a senior elected official for Duffy to step down that we have reported. Earlier reaction from politicians focused on scrutiny of the ground stop and on funding, not on Duffy's job.
Hochul's original post has not been independently checked.
