President Donald Trump endorsed Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman for New York governor a day after Republican Representative Elise Stefanik, another long-time ally of the president, dropped out of the race.

“Bruce is MAGA all the way, and has been with me from the very beginning,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Saturday, adding Blakeman will work to grow the state’s economy and cut taxes.
