Trump blasts ‘total disaster’ Letitia James, endorses rival in NY AG race

Trump endorsed Saritha Komatireddy to replace Letitia James as NY AG.

Summary

President Trump endorsed Republican Saritha Komatireddy for New York Attorney General against incumbent Letitia James.
Trump called James a total disaster and framed the race as a chance to end her tenure.
James has been a long-running legal antagonist of Trump and a symbol of blue-state lawfare politics.
The endorsement puts a national spotlight on a state AG race that rarely draws Oval Office attention.
Mortgage-fraud feud coverage continues to trail both camps in New York media.

State AGs were never meant to be freelance opposition research shops. New York made that the brand.

Voters get a clean choice: keep the lawfare model or hire a prosecutor who reads the statute first.

Nationalizing the AG race is rational when the office spent years nationalizing itself against one man.

An AG who campaigns as a faction fighter should face a factional election. Fair.
