COMMENTARY OF THE DAY

American voters may not be a dumb and ignorant as Dems believe. The shift of two major New York City suburbs to the political right could be a boon for former President Trump on Election Day, according to insiders on both sides of the aisle.
Traditionally purple, if not leaning blue, Long Island’s Nassau and Suffolk counties went solidly red in the 2022 midterms even though state voter rolls show Democrats outnumber Republicans in both places. And that may be a bellwether of where things are headed in similar communities around the country. Former President Trump narrowly won Suffolk County in 2020, beating Joe Biden by fewer than 250 votes. But then, in the 2022 midterms, both Suffolk and the neighboring Nassau County, which borders the Big Apple, saw red waves in local and congressional elections.
"I think the real catalyst was the crazy way that the Democrats were managing both Washington and Albany," Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a Republican, told Fox News Digital. "Now, when you talk about cashless bail, when you look at our insecure borders . . . we're spending billions of dollars on people who have been here for 15 minutes rather than hospitals, infrastructure, schools. People are fed up." Trump's message resonates more with suburban voters, he said. "I think the Democrats are the ones that are helping us the most, and I think moderate Democrats and independent voters want to vote Republican now because they're fed up with the policies of Biden-Harris," he said.
