Trump to tout drop in US crime rates with an eye on midterms
The White House says the latest FBI figures show the biggest one-year drop in violent crime on record as Trump courts suburban voters.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump visits the Nassau County Police Training Center in Garden City to present FBI crime statistics and support Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman's gubernatorial campaign against Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul.
- The event centers on FBI data showing a 9.3% nationwide decline in violent crime in 2025, bolstering Blakeman's campaign message on public safety as he challenges Hochul in the November gubernatorial race.
- Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder reported a 10.5% decrease in major crime during 2025, while Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel accompany Trump to discuss these figures.
- Protests are scheduled near the training center, while New York State Democratic Party Chairman Jay Jacobs criticized the visit; a Siena University poll released Wednesday shows Hochul leading Blakeman 49% to 39% among likely voters.
- Two competitive House districts in Nassau County position the visit as a strategic effort to flip seats this fall, marking Trump's second New York trip this year to support local GOP candidates.
