Alvin Bragg

Bragg's place in history was secured in 2021 when he became the first African American to be elected Manhattan District Attorney. In May of this year, Bragg eclipsed that distinction when his office prosecuted former President Donald Trump and secured his conviction on 34 of a 34-count indictment. It made Trump the first United States president to be convicted of a crime, prompting unprecedented debate on the powers of the president and presidential office that continue to reverberate through the 2024 election campaign. Trump’s sentencing was postponed until November 26, but where the public stands on Bragg’s successful prosecution and conviction will be made clear at the ballot box on Election Day.
