President Donald Trump endorsed Bruce Blakeman for New York governor after Rep. Elise Stefanik suspended her campaign. Stefanik said she was stepping aside to focus on her young son and avoid a lengthy Republican primary.
Trump endorsed Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman for the Republican gubernatorial nomination on Saturday, a day after Stefanik announced she was suspending her campaign. Trump praised Blakeman on Truth Social and said he had his “Complete and Total Endorsement.” Stefanik said continuing the race would waste time and resources on an unnecessary primary and that she wanted to focus on raising her son.
A Siena College poll released Tuesday showed Stefanik leading Blakeman by more than 30 points in a hypothetical Republican primary. The article also reported that Stefanik had support from more than 75% of county Republican chairs, while polls showed Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul ahead of both Republicans in hypothetical general-election matchups. Blakeman’s campaign argued his Nassau County reelection victory showed he could compete statewide.

56 OUTLETSStefanik ended her New York gubernatorial campaign and said she will not seek reelection to the House. She cited family priorities and the prospect of a prolonged Republican primary. Left-leaning outlets link the exit to Trump’s lack of endorsement and its political fallout, while some foreground online mockery. Center outlets mostly give a descriptive account centered on her stated reasons and the reshaped Republican race. Right-leaning outlets take a similarly descriptive approach, though some stress the implications for Republican prospects and Trump’s endorsement of Bruce Blakeman.
