So, she's been told by the DNC that her work as the NYAG in trying to 'get' Trump is more importanter than her desire to become another bent-nosed Cuomo....

The initial polling numbers were not in her favor so she will devote her time and attention to destroying Donald Trump as a springboard to bigger and better things.

Either:

1) Hopless polling or,
2) The elites have selected their candidate and want the field cleared.

LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. — A recent Siena College Poll shows Gov. Kathy Hochul is leading the group of Democrats in the gubernatorial primary.

Thirty-six percent are supporting Hochul, 18-percent are supporting Attorney General Letitia James, 10-percent are supporting New York City Advocate Jumaane Williams and six-percent each for Rep. Tom Suozzi and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. The Siena Poll says 24-percent are undecided or back another candidate.

I think ol’ Letitia should instead set her sights on being elected as a vacuum cleaner, ‘cos she sure SUCKS.

“I have come to the conclusion that I must continue my work as attorney general,” James said in a statement.

Translation: I couldn't raise any money, early polling showed not even 1% support, and the Democrat powers that be won't help me either.

Actually she’s from Buffalo… but you won’t see a single action by her to help central and western NYS. She will boot lick the NYC trash because those in her hometown are deplorables
