President Trump on August 13 endorsed Kailee Buller, a former chief of staff at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in his administration, for New York’s 22nd Congressional District, calling her an “America First Patriot” who has proven her “Courage and Wisdom.”
In a statement posted on X, Trump contrasted Buller with her opponent, state Senator John Mannion, accusing Mannion of voting against “NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME, and NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY” and of supporting “massive Tax Increases, Open Borders, Men playing in Women’s Sports, and Transgender Mutilization of your Children.” Trump warned that “no more Thanksgiving” would follow if Mannion and the “Dumocrats” took power.
Trump outlined Buller’s platform: growing the economy, cutting taxes and regulations, supporting farmers and ranchers, promoting “MADE IN THE U.S.A.,” unleashing American energy dominance, securing the border, strengthening the military, veterans, and law enforcement, and defending the Second Amendment. “Kailee Buller has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Congresswoman from New York’s 22nd Congressional District — SHE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” Trump wrote.
