Rep. Nicole Malliotakis joined President Donald Trump at his Friday rally on Long Island and ahead of the event on Air Force One.
“I’m proud to represent Staten Island and Brooklyn. Sadly, it’s part of Mamdani’s New York City,” Malliotakis said at the rally for Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman. “We are going to change the tide in New York City and across America.”
Ahead of the Friday rally in Nassau County, Malliotakis posted a photo with Trump on social media aboard Air Force One. “New York bound,” the congresswoman captioned the photo.
On Thursday, Trump shared a post to social media announcing his support for the local congresswoman who has been in office since 2021.
“As a Member of the POWERFUL Ways & Means Committee, Nicole knows the America First Policies required to Create GREAT Jobs, Cut Taxes and Regulations, and Champion our Nation’s Golden Age,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “She is working hard to Advance American Energy DOMINANCE, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Keep our Border SECURE, Strengthen our Brave Military/Veterans, Champion the Incredible NYPD and NYFD, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.Nicole Malliotakis has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election — SHE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!”
Malliotakis will face off against Democratic challenger Mike Decillis in the November election.
Trump themed Friday’s rally at the David Mack Center for Training and Intelligence around pro-police policies and public safety.
Blakeman serves as Nassau County executive. He’ll face off against incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul in the November elections. A Siena College poll published Wednesday showed Hochul with a 10-point lead over Blakeman, which Republicans have pushed as indicating their opportunity to win New York.
“We are so honored to have President Trump join with us here today in these magnificent facilities that we have here in Nassau County to honor the men and women of our law enforcement professionals and firefighters,” Blakeman said.
