Trump announced his "Complete and Total Endorsement" for LiPetri, a former New York State Assemblyman. He attacked the incumbent, Tom Suozzi, as a "Radical Left Lunatic" who supports open borders, transgender policies, defunding the police, and gun control. Trump also accused Suozzi of making money from stocks using insider information, citing a New York Post report that Suozzi's portfolio performance beat Nancy Pelosi's with a 35% return.
