In a surprising move that shakes up the New York Republican landscape, former President Donald Trump has endorsed Anthony Constantino for the NY-21 congressional seat, previously held by Representative Elise Stefanik. This endorsement diverges from the preferences of state GOP leaders and local Republican committees, positioning Constantino as a prominent contender in the race to succeed Stefanik. As the CEO of a wealth management company, Constantino has a unique background that includes a public clash with his hometown over pro-Trump signage, further highlighting the contentious political landscape in the region.
