Trump endorses Donovan on S.I.
STATEN ISLAND Rep. Dan Donovan got a yuuge boost in his reelection bid Wednesday night — a big thumbs up from President Trump.
Trump tweeted his endorsement of Donovan, siding with him over former congressman — and felon — Michael Grimm, who is trying to get his old seat back.
“There is no one better to represent the people of N.Y. and Staten Island (a place I know very well) than @RepDanDonovan, who is strong on Borders & Crime, loves our Military & our Vets, voted for Tax Cuts and is helping me to Make America Great Again,” Trump tweeted. “Dan has my full endorsement!”
Grimm — who’s been campaigning on Trump’s agenda — brushed off the President’s snub.
“All the endorsements in the world can’t change the facts,” Grimm tweeted. “Donovan has failed to pass even one substantive bill into law, and has voted against President Trump every time it’s mattered — from failing to repeal Obamacare, to banning sanctuary cities, and even against tax cuts.”
