Trump Endorses Three House Candidates in New Truth Social Posts

President Trump weighed in on a New York City mayoral visit, announced a batch of House endorsements, and escalated his fight with major news organizations over White House access in a series of Truth Social posts that touched on campaign politics, media criticism, and personal appearances. He said he was heading to Gracie Mansion at the invitation of Mayor Mamdani, endorsed Republicans Michael Baumgartner, Joe Mitchell and Mike Bouchard, and attacked CNN, Politico and MSNOW in a post about an access lawsuit. The remarks mixed local politics, congressional races and renewed grievances about what he called a hostile press.

Gracie Mansion Visit

Personal

Trump said he was on his way to Gracie Mansion while visiting New York City and described it as one of his favorite places. He said he had spent many hours there with “some great Mayors, some average Mayors, and some bad Mayors,” and said he was interested to see how it looks now under Mayor Mamdani.

The post is a reminder that Trump continues to use high-profile local settings as a stage for personal branding and political theater. By mentioning Mamdani by name and pairing the visit with the slogan “MAKE NEW YORK CITY GREAT AGAIN,” he turns a social call into a broader signal about New York politics and his standing in the city he long uses as a foil. The tone is deliberately conversational but still pointed, designed to keep him in the center of the local conversation while hinting at judgment over Democratic leadership.

"It will be interesting to see how it looks now, invited by Mayor Mamdani."

"MAKE NEW YORK CITY GREAT AGAIN!"
