When President Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the top job on Sunday, one of the first New York state elected officials to offer her support was state Attorney General Letitia James.  

James and Harris have a lot in common: they are both graduates of Howard University; they have both served as AG; and they are both accomplished women of color.

James, who has worked with Harris in the past, is also leading a coalition of Black attorneys general in support of Harris. 

She spoke with Capital Tonight host Susan Arbetter about why Harris’ candidacy resonates so strongly with her, and why Harris is the best person to take on former President Donald Trump.
