JUST IN: Trump Gives Endorsement for New York Governor After Elise Stefanik Drops Out of Race – “BRUCE BLAKEMAN WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!”

Trump-Endorsed Bruce Blakeman
President Trump has thrown his Complete and Total Endorsement behind Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman for New York Governor in 2026.
Blakeman will likely face current Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul in the November general election after Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) dropped out of the race on Friday, clearing the path for Blakeman to become the GOP Nominee.
“While we would have overwhelmingly won this primary, it is not an effective use of our time or your generous resources to spend the first half of next year in an unnecessary and protracted Republican primary, especially in a challenging state like New York,” Stefanik said announcing her departure from the race and her retirement from the House of Representatives. “while many know me as Congresswoman, my most important title is Mom… As a mother, I will feel profound regret if I don’t further focus on my young son’s safety, growth, and happiness – particularly at his tender age.”
