Trump Set to Highlight Violent Crime Reduction During a Visit to New York Police Academy

The White House said new FBI figures will show declines in murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault as Trump courts suburban voters.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump visits the Nassau County Police Academy in Long Island to release new FBI crime statistics showing a 2025 decrease in violent crime, highlighting an estimated 18.1% decline in murder and manslaughter.
  • Seeking to bolster Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a Trump-endorsed Republican challenging Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul, the visit emphasizes crime as a winning issue to energize Republicans and appeal to suburban swing voters.
  • Republicans target two Democratic-held House seats in Nassau County, with Michael LiPetri Jr. challenging Representative Tom Suozzi in the 3rd Congressional District and Jeanine Driscoll opposing Representative Lauren Gillen in the 4th Congressional District.
  • While the White House claims success, the Center for American Progress released a report finding that National Guard deployments failed to reduce crime; Hochul spokesperson Ryan Radulovacki maintains the governor has invested billions in public safety.
  • Trump's ability to help candidates remains in question amid lagging approval ratings and broader policy concerns, while experts caution against drawing conclusions from single-year crime data.
