New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James have expressed their intentions to stand firm against any potential 'revenge or retribution' following President-elect Trump's return to the White House. Governor Hochul, in a press conference, congratulated Trump on his victory and praised Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for their efforts during the campaign.
While acknowledging that the election results may not have been as hoped, Governor Hochul reassured New Yorkers of the state's resilience in facing challenges. She emphasized New York's historical significance in various movements for women's rights, environmental justice, LGBTQ rights, and labor rights, declaring the state as a stronghold of freedom and the rule of law.
