NEW YORK — Incumbent New York State Attorney General Letitia James declared victory on Tuesday evening after NBC News and MSNBC projected that she would win against Republican challenger Michael Henry.
As attorney general, James has become a rising star in national Democratic political circles. She spearheaded the probe into sexual harassment allegations against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ultimately resigned as a result. And she is currently driving a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump’s company that alleges widespread fraud.
“Tonight, we heard from New Yorkers from across the state, and I am so proud to earn a second term as your Attorney General. Over the past four years, we have worked tirelessly to make New York a place where there is only one system of justice for all, and tonight is an affirmation of all that we have accomplished,” James said in a statement.
