Trump Endorses Blakeman in NY Governor Race | New York City News
Description
Trump’s endorsement of Bruce Blakeman for New York governor is electrifying the GOP base, but polls show most voters still dislike Trump — and Blakeman may struggle to win over independents or Democrats in a heavily blue state. At a Long Island rally, Trump slammed Governor Hochul for soft-on-crime policies and criticized immigration laws tied to crime, while Blakeman embraced Trump’s hardline stance. Hochul counters by highlighting Blakeman’s Trump ties and pushing her own law enforcement funding plan. A key flashpoint: a new state law forcing counties to end ICE cooperation by August 25 — Blakeman hasn’t said whether he’ll comply. The race remains tight, with Trump’s influence potentially energizing Republicans but not enough to guarantee victory.
