President Trump endorsed Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman in Tuesday’s election — giving a last-minute boost to the Republican’s re-election bid.
Trump threw his support behind Blakeman in a Sunday Truth Social post, calling him an “America First Patriot” as he urged Nassau residents to vote for the incumbent.
“Bruce has been with us from the very beginning, and is 100% MAGA,” Trump posted Sunday.
“He is working tirelessly with the Brave Heroes of Law Enforcement, ICE, and Border Patrol to Safeguard our Communities, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Defend our always under siege Second Amendment, Keep our now very Secure Border, SECURE, End Migrant Crime, and Stop Communism from ruining our once Great Cities,” the president added.
