President Donald Trump spoke Friday, Oct. 9, at a midterm rally at the Oncenter in Syracuse, New York, backing Republican candidates including Bruce Blakeman, who is running against Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul in the Nov. 3 election. Trump criticized Hochul over the cost of living and energy prices and promised tax cuts and cheaper energy. He called Hochul a “radical left lunatic” and mocked a New York bill that would replace “mother” and “father” in some state laws with “gestating parent,” drawing laughter from the crowd of several thousand. Trump said his administration would help Blakeman on crime and illegal immigration. Blakeman said he would end policies that classify New York as a sanctuary state and end what he called the green energy scam.

    Right-side headlines lead with Trump’s attacks on Hochul over prices and his pledges to Blakeman, while the Far Right outlets split between event-first headlines (Epoch Times, Fox News) and mocking ones (PJ Media, with “It's a Riot”), and the New York Post’s mocking headline sits between them.
