Isn't Donald Trump campaigning in New York like Kamala Harris campaigning in Texas? Not really. There are a bunch of very competitive House districts in New York State and Trump was on Long Island yesterday campaigning for endangered Rep. Anthony D'Esposito (R-NY). It's kind of unusual actually, because Trump normally cares only about Donald Trump. Probably his campaign manager pointed out to him that if he wins but Democrats capture the House, they will block all his magnificent, wonderful, incredible, fantastic plans that will save the country from ruin. So he spent a few hours on Long Island.
Polls show Trump leading in the district. D'Esposito's opponent, Laura Gillen, seems to understand this and has been hesitant to criticize Trump, talking mostly about the issues. The district is D+5, so Gillen might be able to power through simply on the blue lean of the district. (V)
