With her victory Tuesday, James becomes the first black woman elected to statewide office in New York.
The 60-year-old will also be the state’s first black attorney general.
James is in her second term as New York City’s public advocate, a post similar to an ombudsman.
The Democrat has vowed to use her powers to oppose policies of President Donald Trump.
Pending state suits challenge administration policies on immigration and the environment. Another accuses Trump’s charitable foundation of breaking the law.
James will take over from Attorney General Barbara Underwood, who was appointed in May after elected Attorney General Eric Schneiderman resigned following allegations he physically abused women.
Underwood wasn’t a candidate in the election.
She will be a tool of the so called progressive left. She today already declared her intentions to go after DJT. An AG is not supossed to be an agent of one political party. Her comments re. Trump show her own prejudices and her willingness to kiss the backsides of Trump haters.
To #1 - She has a right to investigate charges that Trump may owe the State of New York, millions of dollars in income taxes, which he may have deliberately avoided paying. Republicans go after Republicans, and Democrats go after Democrats.Therefore, your stating that she has a political agenda and a bias in this case, is a bunch of garbage. However, from you, we really don’t expect fairness or objectivity in your comments. We only expect bad language, and misspelled words
To #3- Are you one of Archy’s “Groupies”?
