“Bruce Blakeman’s announcement that he is running for governor against fellow Republican Elise Stefanik caught many by surprise, not least of which was the White House,” New York Magazine reports.
“Days before the Nassau County executive said he would challenge Stefanik, President Donald Trump called Blakeman to discourage him from running…”
“On Tuesday morning, Blakeman announced he was running anyway, complicating what Stefanik believed would be a cakewalk to the nomination. The result leaves Trump with two of his allies running against each other in his home state.”
