Part 5/8:
The Democratic Party in New York is facing mounting challenges, with figures like Letitia James, the state's Attorney General, also struggling in the polls. James, initially seen as a progressive disruptor, has seen her popularity decline, compounded by controversies including her stance on law enforcement and criminal justice.
James’s push for increased police scrutiny and her investigation into ICE cooperation have not resonated well with many New Yorkers. Voters are increasingly seeking a return to law and order, especially amid rising crime rates. This disconnect appears to be hurting her politically and could spell trouble for her future ambitions.
