We are less than 50 days from Election Day and with thousands of New Yorkers packing out Nassau Coliseum on Long Island on Wednesday to see Donald Trump speak, all eyes are on New York. Why New York? Weak, corrupt, incompetent and inept leaders have passed law after law that have made life less safe and affordable. New York continues to lead the nation in out-migration because pro-criminal, high-tax and sanctuary policies have forced countless New Yorkers to seek refuge in other states.
Many have reached their breaking point but have found hope in the New Yorker running at the top of the ticket. President Trump’s roots are in New York. He grew up in Queens, and as a businessman has helped build this state that is our home.
From the Wollman Rink, to construction that pierces high into the New York City skyline, many feel strongly that this November, New York should be Trump country. Siena College polling at this time in 2022 said I was down 17 points in my race for governor, but we ended up getting just under 50% of the vote, flipping control of the House of Representatives in the process. President Trump is undoubtedly polling better in New York than I was at this time last cycle.
He cut Joe Biden’s lead to mid-single digits before the Democratic Party enacted their coup to oust the sitting president and leader of their party. But make no mistake, New York is a battleground state. Our race for governor earned the most votes for a statewide Republican candidate in over 52 .
