The New York attorney general said she is focused on «securing the nomination for Vice President Harris, and then ultimately getting her elected.»
New York Attorney General Letitia James said she is focused on securing the Democratic nomination for Vice President Kamala Harris and then helping her beat Republican Donald Trump in November.
James—who secured victory in her civil fraud lawsuit against Trump earlier this year—said it was important that voters understand the «existential threat» that Trump represents during an appearance on MSNBC’s The ReidOut on Tuesday.
Asked if she would consider a role in a potential Harris administration, she told Joy Reid: «I’m focused at this point in time on securing the nomination for Vice President Harris, and then ultimately getting her elected. That is my singular focus at this point in time, and continuing to stand up for the rule of law and representing the citizens of the great state of New York, as we do each and every day.»
James’ office and the Trump campaign were contacted for comment via email.
James’ comments are likely to fuel Trump’s claims that James has a political vendetta against him. He has repeatedly accused her of leading a «witch hunt» against him since she sued him over allegations that he inflated his wealth on financial statements for years to dupe banks, insurers and others.
