Story summary

Donald Trump plans to campaign with Bruce Blakeman, the Republican gubernatorial candidate in New York, in Syracuse on October 9. This move aims to boost turnout among Republicans ahead of crucial House races in the state. A recent Siena College poll showed Blakeman trailing his Democratic opponent by just a few percentage points (47-44), making the gubernatorial race competitive, while Quinnipiac University data had Blakeman behind at 58% to 39%. Trump's visit is seen as critical for ensuring Republican enthusiasm in areas where several House seats are now in contention. Republicans argue that even a losing campaign can drive party turnout; however, Trump's unpopularity with New York Democrats could pose challenges.
