**Trump Backs Blakeman for NY Governor in Major GOP Shift**

In a significant development for New York politics, President Donald Trump has endorsed Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman for the Republican nomination for governor.

This endorsement comes on the heels of Rep. Elise Stefanik stepping back from her bid for the governorship.


Blakeman's political background and decisive leadership in Nassau present a compelling case for his nomination.

Trump expressed his strong support on Truth Social, labeling Blakeman as "MAGA all the way."

He noted Blakeman's commitment to working alongside the dedicated heroes of ICE, Border Patrol, and other law enforcement agencies.

Trump emphasized the pressing need for secure borders, law and order, and safety in communities across New York State.

"Bruce will continue to fight hard to Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes, and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Champion American Energy DOMINANCE, Strengthen our Military/Veterans, Advance Election Integrity, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment," Trump stated.

Blakeman's background as a successful county executive uniquely positions him to appeal to voters tired of the status quo under Democrat governance, particularly the current administration's policies that have led to rising crime rates and escalating living costs.

Having achieved significant victories in Nassau County, Blakeman distinguished himself by implementing fiscal conservatism and taking a assertive stance against crime.

His approach has resonated with many, especially amid widespread dissatisfaction with Governor Kathy Hochul's administration.

Furthermore, the recent endorsement signals a revitalizing of Republican prospects in a state where enthusiasm has often been eclipsed by Democratic dominance.

Blakeman himself expressed gratitude for Trump's support, highlighting their shared vision for a safer and more prosperous New York.

As the race evolves, the stakes for the GOP in New York remain high.

With Trump’s endorsement, Blakeman’s campaign gains valuable momentum and credibility.

However, this also raises the critical need for effective fundraising to ensure his efforts resonate statewide.

Looking ahead, Blakeman plans to focus on his record of achievements while tackling pressing issues facing New Yorkers.

The 2026 gubernatorial race is shaping up to be a pivotal moment for the Republican party in New York.

With Trump's backing, Blakeman is poised to galvanize support and challenge the entrenched Democratic establishment.
