The New York State Conservative Party is throwing its support behind former President Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election. Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar cited overwhelming support for Trump among rank-and-file members and praised his stance on curbing illegal immigration and addressing the US-Mexico border crisis. Kassar indicated that 10 counties have already endorsed Trump, with more expected to follow suit.

The Conservative Party's endorsement of Trump comes after the Bronx Conservative Party also expressed its support for the former president. Chairman Patrick McManus highlighted Trump's strong leadership, his achievements in areas such as border security and law enforcement, and his appeal to minority citizens.

In addition to party endorsements, a major conservative grassroots organization, the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund, announced its endorsement of Trump. The group polled its three million supporters, with 87 percent of respondents favoring Trump as the preferred candidate. The endorsement comes on the heels of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis suspending his campaign and endorsing Trump.

With a growing list of endorsements and his primary rivals trailing in polls, Trump is emerging as the clear frontrunner for the Republican nomination.
