"I'm very honored and proud that I'm gonna be on Fox & Friends with you right now to announce that I'm running for governor of the state of New York, Blakeman told co-host Brian Kilmeade on Tuesday. I'm seeking the Republican and conservative nominations. We wanna put New York first. We wanna make it more affordable. We wanna make New York safer. And we wanna make people in New York happy again."
"When asked on Monday about the possibility of two Donald Trump loyalists running for the same office and who he would prefer to endorse, the president said: She's great. He's also great. I'll think about it, but he's great and she's great. We have a lot of great people in the Republican Party."
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman announced a campaign for New York governor on Fox & Friends and said he is seeking the Republican and conservative nominations. He stated priorities of putting New York first, making the state more affordable, increasing safety, and restoring residents' happiness. Blakeman will compete in the Republican primary against Elise Stefanik and would face incumbent Democrat Kathy Hochul in the general election. Prior polling showed Stefanik with an edge over Hochul before Blakeman entered the race. President Donald Trump said both candidates are "great" and indicated he would consider endorsements.
