Michael Henry, the Republican candidate for New York’s attorney general, has voiced his disapproval of Letitia James’s relationship with socialist mayoral candidate Mamdani, describing him as a ‘failed actor.’ The statement has led to controversy, with critics arguing that Henry’s remarks are an attempt to undermine James’s credibility and distract from broader policy issues.
Henry’s comments came during an interview with Fox News Digital, where he emphasized the importance of aligning with candidates who share his political views. This incident highlights the growing polarization within New York’s political landscape, where ideological differences are increasingly shaping public discourse and electoral strategies.
James, the current New York Attorney General, has not yet responded to Henry’s criticisms. However, her supporters argue that her association with Mamdani reflects a commitment to progressive policies and social justice, which are crucial for addressing the state’s pressing challenges.
