Trump Endorses Nassau Executive for NY Governor
The endorsement arrived via Trump's Truth Social platform, where the US president characterized Blakeman as "highly respected and very popular," further declaring: "Bruce is MAGA all the way, and has been with me from the very beginning."
Make America Great Again (MAGA) represents Trump's defining political movement and catchphrase that gained prominence throughout his presidential campaigns.
Trump highlighted Blakeman's track record on border security and crime prevention, stating the county executive is "working tirelessly with the Brave Heroes of ICE, Border Patrol, and Law Enforcement to Keep Our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Safeguard our Community, and Ensure LAW AND ORDER."
In response, Blakeman issued a statement through media, expressing: "I am blessed and grateful to have the endorsement of President Donald J. Trump," while pledging collaboration to transform New York into a state that is "safe and affordable."
Republican contenders
Blakeman, previously serving as a Hempstead Town councilman, has led Nassau County as executive since 2022, administering New York's most populous suburban jurisdiction. His political identity centers on stringent crime policies and steadfast support for Trump-aligned immigration enforcement strategies.
Stefanik, a prominent Trump supporter and leading New York Republican figure, stepped away from the gubernatorial bid Friday, referencing party cohesion and tactical positioning for the 2026 election cycle.
