Republican Drops Scathing Ad on Antisemitism Vs.

Races across the nation continue to notch up a stage with just under two weeks to go to Election Day in the midterms. One of those races choosing up velocity is the competition for attorney common in New York between incumbent Democrat AG Letitia James and former federal prosecutor Saritha Komatireddy, the Republican opponent.

My colleague Sister Toldjah also wrote about their dynamite debate and how it was not James’ best second by a long shot, with Komatireddy managing to land some strong jabs. It’s clear that she may very well be a rising star in the GOP, whatever occurs on Nov. 3.

What’s shocking to many is that the polling has began closing between the candidates, as RedState reported about a week in the past, with Komatireddy gaining momentum in the race. The hole with James was 13 factors in September, but the Republican opponent in the new ballot – taken after Komatireddy’s debate win – is only 6 factors now. As my colleague Nick Arama famous in analyzing the swift features: “In August, she was 18 points behind.” Remarkable swing.

Well, now Saritha Komatireddy is making her last pitch to NY voters with a scathing new advert, telling them precisely what she is going to do on “Day One” to fight antisemitism and crime – that are issues Tish James has failed to deal with during her time period.

Watch:

New Yorkers deserve an Attorney General who takes motion against antisemitism. Letitia James has had her probability and she’s failed. It’s time for a new AG. https://t.co/FCWLxROsP9

The advert must have been cut rapidly because it is based on a press convention from Friday, in which Komatireddy spoke about a daytime assault on the streets this week against a rabbi:

Komatireddy — a former federal prosecutor working against Democratic incumbent Attorney General Letitia James — made the promise while talking from the positioning of Wednesday’s assault, where a lady was filmed stalking 26-year-old Yousef Krish before apparently plunging a syringe into his back.

“When I am attorney general, I will declare a state of emergency on antisemitism on day one,” Komatireddy told reporters.

She famous that despite Jewish New Yorkers making up roughly 10-12% of the Big Appel’s [sic] population, they’ve confronted more than 50% of all confirmed hate crimes this yr, according to NYPD statistics launched this month.

“Every Jewish New Yorker is feeling the rise of hate in our city and in our state,” Komatireddy said.

I imply, what response can Democrats and James have to that? You cannot persuade people they’re secure, when their on a regular basis lives show the other is true. 

Could a Republican win this race in New York? It’s exhausting to say, but perhaps. Komatireddy gained on a number of big points in that debate versus James (including on Medicare), but public security is an issue that is really nonpartisan and might resonate with unbiased voters. This advert might seal the deal for Republicans, if that occurs.

Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will decide the destiny of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must preserve control of both chambers of Congress.
