President Trump Appearing with Bruce Blakeman in Nassau County to Talk Crime
The White House said Trump will highlight a 2025 drop in violent crime as he backs Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump visited the Nassau County Police Academy on Long Island to headline a public-safety forum, officially endorsing Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman in the New York gubernatorial race.
- Trump praised Blakeman as a "FANTASTIC guy" during the event, aiming to energize Republican voters as Governor Kathy Hochul maintains a 10-point lead according to recent polling.
- Emphasizing law and order, the administration presented 2025 FBI crime statistics showing a decrease in violent crime, while Blakeman defended his administration's collaboration with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
- Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James stated that state laws prioritizing safety remain their "top priority," while questioning federal overreach regarding local enforcement.
- Although Trump won Nassau County in 2024, he remains viewed unfavorably by 60% of New York likely voters, complicating Blakeman's effort to win independent voters in the November election.
