President Donald Trump on August 13 gave his "Complete and Total Endorsement" to Representative Nick LaLota for re-election in New York's 1st Congressional District, praising the congressman as a "truly fantastic job" representing his constituents.
In a post on X, Trump highlighted LaLota's background as a U.S. Navy veteran, stating that "Nick knows the Wisdom and Courage required to Defend our Country, Support our Brave Military/Veterans, and Ensure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH." The president also credited LaLota with fighting for border security, opposing migrant crime, upholding law and order, growing the economy, cutting taxes and regulations, promoting American energy dominance, supporting American-made products, and protecting Second Amendment rights.
Trump specifically noted LaLota's work to increase the SALT deduction for workers in New York. "Nick LaLota has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election – HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!" Trump wrote.
