President Trump held a rally in Syracuse, New York, to support Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman as the midterm election approaches.
The Hill reported that Trump’s appearance was intended as a late campaign push for Blakeman after concentrating recent events in states favorable to Republicans. The Washington Post reported that Trump was seeking to increase turnout among conservative Republicans in the race. Decision Desk HQ gave Blakeman a 10 percent chance of winning, according to The Hill.
The Washington Post said some supporters in Trump’s MAGA base were not confident about Blakeman’s prospects.
