Queens DA Katz warns supporters that Grasso will run as third-party candidate in November

Despite her landslide victory in the June 27 Democratic primary, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz is reminding her supporters that there is still work to be done in her re-election bid.

Katz acknowledged that retired Judge George Grasso, who had a disappointing second-place finish in the primary, will continue to challenge her campaign into the fall.

“My Democratic primary opponent wants to run again in the general election on a third party line, hoping that far-right Trump voters will sustain him,” Katz wrote to her supporters. “Honestly, I look forward to facing him again. And call it a woman’s intuition, but I think he is going to lose again.”
