Rep. Lee Zeldin, New York’s Republican nominee for governor, said thousands of people attended his Long Island, New York, rally with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
With both men facing gubernatorial elections next week, some observers online noted that the giant turnout for the rally Saturday evening with DeSantis may foreshadow what his possible 2024 presidential campaign would look like, ADN America reported.
“INCREDIBLE turnout tonight on Long Island for our Get Out The Vote Rally,” Zeldin tweeted after the event. “THOUSANDS strong showed up for our event on only one day’s notice.”

DeSantis, who is double-digits ahead in some polls against his Democratic challenger, former Gov. Charlie Crist, focused on Zeldin’s tough-on-crime approach during the rally.
“Florida is a law-and-order state. I am a law-and-order governor. If Lee Zeldin gets into office, New York will become a law-and-order state,” he said.
NY deserves a leader who will restore law & order. @leezeldin is the man for the job.
Lee will also protect NYers against irrational & liberty-infringing COVID mandates.
The Zeldin victory on Nov 8th will be a shot heard ‘round the world!
