New York Attorney General Letitia James announced Friday she is running for governor, setting up a primary battle with Gov. Kathy Hochul, who took over the governorship following the resignation of Andrew Cuomo over the summer.

In a video released Friday, James highlighted her office’s lawsuits against former President Donald Trump, the National Rifle Association (NRA), and her investigation into deaths in New York state nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
