Part 14/16:
The political landscape in New York appears to be shifting, with increasing support for Republican candidates and a trend towards red-leaning votes. In 2024, even in traditionally Democratic areas like Brooklyn and Queens, Republicans made significant gains, including record vote shares for Donald Trump in the state. Critics believe this momentum signals a possible turning point in New York’s political alignment, which could spell doom for entrenched Democratic figures like James.
Public dissatisfaction and shifting voter sentiment strongly suggest that James’s days in office are numbered. Polls depict a declining approval rating, and some speculate she might soon resign or face electoral defeat if she chooses to run again.
