Rep. Lee Zeldin had former president Donald Trump’s total endorsement on Sunday, after Trump praised him for having a strong mindset on border control, crime, and support for military and war vets.
“I have watched and known Congressman Lee Zeldin for many years. He is a great and brilliant lawyer who was a ‘must see’ for others in Congress when they had a complex legal problem that was holding up legislation,” Trump wrote Sunday on the Truth Social media platform.
“Lee was strong on the Border, Crime, our great Military & Vets (like few others!), and fought hard to protect our 2nd Amendment, and succeeded. Lee Zeldin is a WINNER who GOT THINGS DONE. He will be a GREAT Governor of New York, and has my Complete & Total Endorsement. GOOD LUCK LEE!,” Trump said.
With not very much time left in the countdown till the November 8th elections, Zeldin has managed to overcome Hochul’s double-digit lead in the polls, making future votes a toss up between the two.
Hochul currently has a 5.3 percentage point edge over Zeldin.
Zeldin has hammered Hochul on the bail reform and rising crime numbers in New York during the campaign.
Trump, who remained neutral during the state’s June 28 Republican gubernatorial primary, has since thrown support behind Zeldin. He gave Zeldin’s campaign $1.5M to boost him forward at a fundraiser in New Jersey last month.
Trump said to donors that Zeldin helped him overcome “impeachment hoax number one and impeachment hoax number two and a lot of scams,” referring to his unsuccessful efforts to overturn the 2020 election results that the congressman from Suffolk Country supported.
“I had these maniacs against me. He was one of those great voices,” Trump said.
This is your chance New Yorker’s. If you don’t get rid of her you have no reason to cry after she slams the hammer down on all of you. Vote for your freedom
How many fence jumpers has she accepted . One would think that with Biden giving billions to Ukraine , letting illegal fence jumpers in the USA, giving them free food, housing and medical care and wanting to give them social security, high gas prices and 9% inflation that democrats would want change. It really is hard to fix stupid when democrats keep voting for the same party that keeps screwing them.
