Today, I am proud to announce my candidacy for governor of New York so we can bring transformational change that uplifts all New Yorkers,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>James\u2019 announcement comes one day after a&nbsp;misdemeanor sex-crime complaint was filed against disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) in a Albany court. In the complaint, the befallen Democrat is accused of forcibly touching a woman in the governor\u2019s Executive Mansion in December of 2020.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-61 Component-p-0-2-52\">James was born and raised in Brooklyn and made her first run for City Council as a candidate of the liberal Working Families Party. Her path to the nomination will be the observe of Hochuls, trying to win over upstate Democrats who might be less progressive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-61 Component-p-0-2-52\">Before her bombshell report was released, prompting Cuomo\u2019s resignation, James had been known nationally for her frequent legal tussles with former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-61 Component-p-0-2-52\">Since she became attorney general in 2019, her office has investigated Trump\u2019s business affairs and sued the Republican\u2019s administration dozens of times over federal policies on immigration, the environment and other matters.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Associated&nbsp;Press contributed to this report.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) announced Friday that she is running for governor of New York \u2014 a move which is likely to set up a bruising primary &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-937677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/937677","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/42"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=937677"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/937677\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=937677"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=937677"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=937677"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
