Trump Planning to Visit Syracuse to Rally Republican Support
Trump will campaign for Bruce Blakeman as Democrats hold a slim five-seat House edge and polls point to gains in several races, analysts say.
- On Friday, President Trump will appear at a campaign rally in Syracuse alongside Republican governor candidate Bruce Blakeman, continuing an unconventional itinerary that deviates from his focus on the country's most competitive midterm races.
- Trump previously vowed to visit 35 competitive races but is now campaigning in New York for a candidate trailing by double digits, having already traveled to Alabama and Oklahoma.
- A Marist poll released Wednesday shows Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul leading Blakeman 53 percent to 42 percent, while 60 percent of Empire State voters disapprove of Trump's job performance.
- Republicans hold a slim five-seat House edge, but prospects appear challenging in New York, where 44 percent of voters told Marist their congressional vote would mainly be a vote against Trump.
- Democrats remain bullish on flipping seats, including in the rural district where dairy farmer Blake Gendebien challenges Republican Anthony Constantino, a district that voted for Trump by more than 20 percent in 2024.
