Debra Messing ditches Democrat for Trump-backed Republican as she sounds alarm over New York
Fox News ^ | 10/05/26 | Lauryn Overhultz

Debra Messing has had enough with the state of New York.

The "Will & Grace" actress snubbed Democratic incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul and instead threw her support behind Republican Bruce Blakeman in the New York governor’s race.

The endorsement marked a striking political shift for Messing, who has campaigned for Democratic candidates in the past. She previously backed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Cynthia Nixon's 2018 bid for New York governor.

Messing has also publicly clashed with President Donald Trump, a supporter of Blakeman.

Her past political allegiances appeared to take a back seat as Messing enthusiastically praised Blakeman’s campaign for governor.

"Oh gosh, I am so grateful that you are running," she told Blakeman in a video shared on Instagram. "You are what we need more than anything."

"The decline in this city over the last four years has been so exponential and devastating economically, socially on every level and obviously we've lost so much business here. People are leaving the city."

Fox News Digital reached out to Messing's representative for comment.

“Debra Messing ditches Democrat for Trump-backed Republican as she sounds alarm over New York”

the unthinkable has happened: VIRULENTLY VICIOUS anti-Trumper, anti-MAGA, anti-GOP, anti-conservative Debra Messing was struck by lightening on the road to Damascus and has seen the truth, or maybe a little of it, anyway ...

“I had (no) idea that Debra Messing is Jewish”

Not only is she Jewish, she’s also against gassing Jews.

Funny, court jesters used to be scorned. Now the idiots place them on a pedestal.

I really don’t care who celebrities endorse no matter which side they’re on. They are not all that influential and as Alice Cooper famously said: “If you’re listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you’re a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we’re morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the newspaper.”
