New York attorney general, staunch Mamdani supporter, says 'sleeping giant has awoken'
New York Attorney General Letitia James says laborers now have a seat at the table of power.
“The politics of the past just don't work," New York State Attorney General Letitia James said at Zohran Mamdani's watch party Tuesday evening. "New Yorkers recognize that they wanted a different direction, and they wanted to focus, obviously, on politics that were fresh and new and the politics of the future."
"A sleeping giant has awoken," James said. She added that unsung laborers "now have a seat at the table of power, and joining that new group, and the traditional Democratic base, is obviously gonna have an impact on the body politic in New York City, and in this country going forward."
