Former president Donald Trump picked up another key endorsement on Monday from Lee Zeldin, the former Long Island congressman and 2022 New York Republican gubernatorial nominee.
“The GOP is filled with amazing talent to save our country from the failed policies of the Biden Admin. Our nominee in 2024 will be the 45th & 47th POTUS, Donald Trump,” Zeldin wrote on Twitter, endorsing the former president.
“Our economy will be stronger, our streets will be safer, & our lives will be freer. He has my full support,” the former congressman added.

Zeldin joins the list of several key endorsements the former president has received over the last several months. The Trump ally has a lot of support in the Empire State.
The former congressman ran for governor last cycle against Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) and created one of the closest gubernatorial races in New York in 20 years.
Despite losing in the gubernatorial race, he generated a lot of success down the ballot and helped numerous Republicans get elected across the state — including at least ten representatives — which helped the GOP take back the U.S. House of Representatives.
Since then, the former Republican gubernatorial candidate was considered a possible candidate to run for head of the Republican National Committee (RNC), which he did not end up doing, and more recently, is reportedly being floated to run for Senate against Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) in 2024.

Notably, this comes after Zeldin was recently with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), a possible 2024 presidential candidate, during his book tour stop on Long Island. DeSantis was promoting his new book, The Courage to be Free: Florida’s Blueprint for America’s Revival.
Zeldin isn’t the only person to be with DeSantis and then endorse Trump. This is making me wonder what DeSantis is saying behind the scenes, or not saying. I’ll give DeSantis the benefit of the doubt until someone has the guts to say what DeSantis has said.
He means the 45th, 46th, and 47th President.
I think he is saying or thinking or indicating that he is not running but letting people think he is running so he can get some cash together for next time. Just my opinion.
Good theory.
