Trump, 80, Forgets NY AG Pick’s Name at Rally After Endorsing Saritha Komatireddy

Summary
At a Long Island rally, Donald Trump called his newly endorsed New York attorney general candidate “Ma’am,” appearing unable to recall Saritha Komatireddy’s name moments after backing her.
The lapse came as Trump attacked Attorney General Letitia James and promoted Komatireddy, a Republican challenger identified by The Daily Beast as a federal prosecutor.
Jonathan Reiner, a cardiologist who treated former Vice President Dick Cheney, had already questioned Trump’s cognitive health this week, citing what he described as unusual drowsiness and difficulty staying awake.
The moment quickly spread on X, where critics tied it to broader concerns about Trump’s memory just hours after his endorsement added a new front to his long-running feud with James.
