Trump-backed candidate Anthony Constantino faces off against traditional conservative in NY primary

Anthony Constantino, a political newcomer and candidate for New York's 21st Congressional District, is running a campaign heavily focused on his support for Donald Trump. Constantino has created a "Vote for Trump" sign, recorded a hip-hop album praising Trump, and even gifted the former president a bronze statue. Despite his unconventional approach and clashes with the state's Republican leadership, Constantino has secured an endorsement from Trump, setting up a primary race against traditional conservative candidate Robert Smullen.
