President Donald Trump returned to New York on Friday to headline a Syracuse rally for Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman, promising White House support to flip the state red and urging voters to deliver a Republican House and Senate in November.


So White House support means what? Federal cash? National Guard? Or a photo op with the bill sent to Syracuse taxpayers? I want a number, not a vibe. What does this city get besides blocked streets and a motorcade? And who audits that promise when it evaporates in November?
