With Mayor Eric Adams's political future shrouded in uncertainty, the New York attorney general, Letitia James, is considering whether to run to replace him, according to five people familiar with her thinking.
Ms. James views her potential candidacy as a way of helping New York City recover from the crisis unfolding under Mr. Adams, according to people who have spoken with her.
She has expressed concern that voters could elect Mr. Cuomo, who resigned in 2021 after a report from her office found that he had sexually harassed current and former employees.
Ms. James has said in private that if she were to run for mayor, she would prefer that other prominent Democrats step aside and allow her a clearer path to victory.
