President Trump’s trip to upstate New York next week is a bid to help his pal Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman — but also to help prevent Republican House seats from slipping away.
asserted
trip → help → seats
Trump is set to campaign with Republican gubernatorial candidate Blakeman in Syracuse on Oct. 9, as the GOP looks to juice turnout in a state where several House races are suddenly competitive.
asserted
races → set → state
Blakeman, who has been attacking Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul on tax cuts and energy costs, has been keeping his own race competitive.
But he also has an effect on candidates down the ticket, and Trump needs to try to make sure Republicans are enthusiastic enough to show up and vote.
asserted
are → attack → ticket
“In ‘22, New York state determined the House majority.
asserted
state → determine → majority
And in 2026, New York could determine it again,” said one Republican operative.
uncertain
operative → determine → it
Republicans point to former Rep. Lee Zeldin’s (R-NY) 2022 campaign for governor, arguing that his bid helped drive Republican turnout across the state even though he ultimately lost to Hochul, 53%-47%.
asserted
he → point → Hochul
The challenge for Trump is that his ability to fire up Republicans comes with a potential downside: He is deeply unpopular with many New York Democrats who are gunning to vote.
asserted
who → fire → Democrats
“I think it’s going to cut both ways.
asserted
it → think → ways
People are very emotional — the ones that don’t like Trump really don’t like him,” said Grant Reeher, a political science professor at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship.
asserted
Reeher → like → Citizenship
But he can also help fill the Republican enthusiasm gap, said Reeher: “Certainly one thing the guy is good at is getting people ramped up.
asserted
people → help → gap
On balance it may be something that could help the Republican candidates.”
uncertain
that → help → candidates
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) made her own political trip upstate last week, with a plan to set up campaign infrastructure to turn out low propensity voters.
asserted
Cortez → make → voters
Republican Anthony Constantino, a candidate in New York’s 21st Congressional District, is among those GOP candidates who have most enthusiastically hugged Trump.
asserted
who → hug → Trump
He even put a Trump sign on the roof of his sticker business.
asserted
He → put → business
Constantino announced Thursday that he was loaning another $4 million to his campaign as he tries to keep retiring Rep. Elise Stefanik’s seat in GOP hands, bringing his total personal loans to $16 million.
asserted
he → announce → million
His race is drawing unusual attention in the North Country, where the district has traditionally been safely Republican.
asserted
district → draw → Country
His Democratic opponent, Blake Gendebien, said his campaign raised $2 million in the last fundraising quarter.
asserted
campaign → say → quarter
Constantino might need to spend the money he’s loaned, thanks to signs of a “blue wave” that could take down Republican candidates due to high gas prices and the unpopular trade war with Canada.
uncertain
that → need → Canada
“That district should not be competitive,” said Erin Covey of the Cook Political Report.
asserted
Covey → say → Report
Trump won it by 21 percentage points in 2024, but Covey pointed to Constantino’s polarizing image and the trade war’s particular impact on the region as factors making the race more competitive.
asserted
race → win → factors
And then there’s Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), whose Hudson Valley seat is one of the country’s most closely watched House battlegrounds.
asserted
seat → ’ → battlegrounds
Lawler’s race against Democrat Cait Conley is currently razor close: An Emerson College poll released Wednesday had Conley ahead 48%-46%, while a new internal Lawler poll showed the Republican ahead 50%-47% — both within the respective margins of error.
asserted
Republican → release → error
“That’s a guy that’s going to be really worried about the turnout issue,” said Reeher.
asserted
Reeher → ’ → issue
Trump’s trip to Syracuse could also help Republican Kailee Buller, a former top aide to Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins.
uncertain
trip → help → Rollins
She is trying to topple Rep. John Mannion (D-NY), who won his last race with 55% of the vote.
asserted
who → try → vote
