LI Republican Committees Endorse Trump In Presidential Election

LONG ISLAND, NY — Long Island's Republican committees have spoken — and endorsed Donald Trump for President in the November election.

On Friday, both Suffolk and Nassau County Republican Chairmen Jesse Garcia and Joseph G. Cairo endorsed Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

President Joe Biden, also running again, in his recent State of the Union address, set forth his agenda, which contrasted with Trump's plans.

"President Trump won Suffolk in 2016; we were the largest county in America to vote for him in 2020," said Garcia. "And, we will make sure he wins big once again on November 5."

"Nassau County has turned solidly ‘red’ in recent years, embracing the sound and sensible governmental policies of President Trump," Cairo said. "We are eager to be part of a resounding election day victory for Donald Trump in 2024."

Trump, meanwhile, is hurtling toward a critical deadline in his most costly legal battle to date, according to the Associated Press. If the former president doesn't come up with a financial guarantee by Monday, New York's attorney general can start the process of collecting on the more than $454 million Trump owes the state in a civil fraud lawsuit.

But Long Island GOP leaders stand firmly behind Trump.

"Suffolk County residents are feeling the pain of the Biden agenda," said Garcia. "We stand ready to help put leaders in office who will once again put Suffolk and America First. Only with a Trump Presidency will we have a secure southern border, foreign policy with peace through strength, and a reversal of the economic hardships created by the Biden administration."

Added Cairo: "The choice for President is clear in 2024. Neighbors who are concerned about crime, safety, taxes and the economy support President Trump. Donald J. Trump will secure the border and put an end to Joe Biden’s sanctuary city policies, which have made communities less safe. What’s more, Donald Trump will fix Biden’s broken economy and provide meaningful tax relief for working families."

Garcia said the nation could not withstand four more years of "crime and deadly drugs like fentanyl flowing into our communities. The contrast this November could never be more clear. While President Trump was in office, he personally came to Suffolk County for a roundtable on gang violence, which led to bold policies and decisive action that indisputably made our streets safer. This is the leadership we need and deserve."

"President Donald J. Trump has the full backing of the Suffolk County Republican Committee," concluded Garcia.

"The Nassau County Republican Committee is proud to wholeheartedly endorse Donald J. Trump for President of the United States," added Cairo.
