NEW YORK (AP) — New York Attorney General Letitia James is set to speak at a rally for New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Monday — her first public appearance since being indicted on federal fraud charges related to her purchase of a home in Virginia.
“See you tonight, New York! Thanks for always having my back — now, let’s get out and win this election with @ZohranKMamdani,” James wrote on X, just hours before the rally at the United Palace theater in the Washington Heights neighborhood of upper Manhattan.
The event is meant to kick off the final stretch of Mamdani’s campaign ahead of the Nov. 4 election. The 33-year-old state lawmaker faces former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa in the race to succeed Democratic Mayor Eric Adams, who abandoned his re-election bid in recent days.
Mamdani has also been a vocal supporter of James, the city’s former public advocate. On Friday, he joined other local Democrats in denouncing the federal charges the attorney general now faces, calling the indictment a “shameless act of political retribution” by President Donald Trump.
