New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says she called President-elect Trump on Thursday to "reaffirm" the pair can work together in areas like infrastructure where the state relies on federal funding.
The call came a day after Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James held a combative press conference where James vowed to "fight back once again" against a Trump administration and defend the rights of New Yorkers and the rule of law.
"It was a very cordial call, and listen, I said I’ll work with anybody," Hochul said, at a post-election political event in Puerto Rico Friday, per Politico. She said it was an appropriate courtesy to congratulate the winner of an election.
"I basically just reaffirmed there are areas we can work together, like infrastructure, where we rely on federal money, and he seems to share my priorities."
