President Trump to Visit Nassau Amid Bruce Blakeman’s Run for Governor

Trump will join Nassau County Republicans to promote law enforcement and boost Bruce Blakeman as he trails Gov. Kathy Hochul by 20 points statewide.

  • On Friday, Aug. 14, President Donald Trump will visit the Nassau County Police Academy to join Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who is challenging Democratic incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul for New York State's governorship.
  • Following Rep. Elise Stefanik 's withdrawal from the primary earlier this year, Trump endorsed Blakeman, calling him 'MAGA all the way' in December 2025 after supporting him since his 2021 county executive race.
  • Showcasing the FBI's 2025 Crime Report, Trump will present 'the largest year-to-year decrease ever in violent crime,' while Blakeman touts his record of enacting the nation's first post-COVID mask ban in 2024.
  • Despite the polling gap, Hochul's campaign spokesperson Ryan Radulovacki framed the race as a choice between a governor 'protecting our healthcare, investing billions in public safety' or a 'MAGA fanboy who'd rather be at Mar-a-Lago,' while Blakeman trails by 20 percentage points statewide.
  • Republicans are mounting a coordinated effort across Long Island, targeting Congressional District 4 where Republican Jeanine Driscoll challenges Democratic incumbent Laura Gillen, following Vice President J.D. Vance's recent visit to support former state Assemblyman Mike LiPetri .
