President Trump gives full endorsement to Saritha Komatireddy for New York Attorney General race to unseat Letitia James

President Trump has provided his complete and total endorsement to Saritha Komatireddy, the Republican candidate seeking to unseat the current New York Attorney General, Letitia James. The administration announced that the endorsement comes as President Trump continues to press for James to be prosecuted over mortgage fraud allegations, while criticizing her handling of the state's crime and fraud investigations. Saritha Komatireddy, a former federal prosecutor and DEA chief of staff, is being positioned as a law and order candidate. President Trump described Letitia James as a "complete and total disaster" who has presided over a state where crime is raging out of control. In contrast, Komatireddy is expected to the champion law enforcement and first responders. While Letitia James defended her record, highlighting her gun buyback programs and narcotics seizures, she faces a significant challenge from the Republican challenger endorsed by President Trump. The two Brooklyn natives will face off in the general election on November 1.
