There&#8217;s a reason: just like Donald Trump, he takes money out of New Yorkers&#8217; pockets and squeezes working families at every turn.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Blakeman is undaunted that state party Chairman Ed Cox and others are in the Stefanik camp.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He doesn&#8217;t speak for all Republicans in New York State. He&#8217;s the state chairman,&#8221; Blakeman said. &#8220;First of all, I have a a much stronger organization than the state organization in Nassau County. We raised about $7 million last year for our candidates. I think New York State GOP raised about $300,000.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Law professor J.C. Polanco said Stefanik is a rockstar in the party, and Blakeman will have his work cut out for him in the primary.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a very eloquent New York Republican kind of guy. Can he survive a primary against a MAGA juggernaut? Only time will tell,&#8221; said Polanco.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Trump says Blakeman and Stefanik are &#8220;both great people&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Blakeman and Stefanik will also have to court the president, who, so far, has refused to put his thumb on the scale, calling them both great people.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll think about it, but he&#8217;s great and she&#8217;s great. They&#8217;re both great people. We have a lot of great people with the Republican party,&#8221; Mr. Trump said Monday, when asked if he would be giving an endorsement in the race.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Experts say the president could decide to play another role by urging one of the candidates to back out in order to give the party a better chance against Hochul.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Blakeman has gained a national profile for his conservative stance, which has energized his GOP base.
