Trump's troll endorsements shake up two NY Dem primaries

Writing on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump offered what he claims is his blessing to Dan Goldman, the former federal prosecutor who led House Democrats’ impeachment of Trump in 2019, and Rep. Carolyn Maloney of Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

Trump called Goldman, the front-runner in Tuesday’s crowded primary for New York’s newly drawn 10th Congressional District, “honorable, fair and highly intelligent.”

In a separate thread, he said that a vote for Maloney, who is locked in a three-way race to hold on to New York’s 12th Congressional District, is a “vote for the future” and praised her as a “kind and wonderful person.” Trump, a former East Side resident, correctly noted that he has contributed to Maloney’s campaigns in the past, albeit not since 2009.

Trump also had good things to say about Rep. Jerry Nadler, one of Maloney’s two main competitors. He described Nadler as a “hard driving man of the people.”
