Baltimore's embattled Mayor Catherine Pugh resigned Thursday amid state and federal investigations into whether she used bulk sales of her self-published children's book "Healthy Holly" to disguise kickbacks.

"Baltimore deserves a mayor who can move our great city forward." Instead of making a decision, though, Pugh stayed holed up inside her three-story home for nearly a month.
