特朗普计划于周五访问位于纽约长岛拿骚县的警察学院，届时白宫将发布新的FBI犯罪统计数据以突显2025年暴力犯罪的下降 [1]。白宫发言人劳伦·比斯表示，"特朗普总统承诺让美国再次安全，数据证明他做到了" [1]。此行旨在为共和党候选人造势，支持争取州长职位的拿骚县行政官布莱克曼 [1]。特朗普将与司法部长托德·布兰奇和FBI局长卡什·帕特尔同行 [1]。
拿骚县是特朗普在2024年赢得的关键地区，他以微弱优势胜出，这是共和党超过20年来首次在该县获胜 [1]。该县拥有民主党的两个众议院席位，共和党现已将其视为可争取的目标 [1]。
然而，特朗普在这一议题上的支持率面临挑战。根据AP-NORC民调，他对犯罪处理的支持率从2025年8月至12月期间下降了10个百分点 [1]。此外，特朗普本周对美国进步中心的一份报告进行了猛烈抨击，该报告发现国民警卫队部署未能减少犯罪 [1]。
President Trump plans to visit the Nassau County Police Academy on Long Island on Friday to showcase a decline in violent crime during his administration [1]. The White House will release updated FBI crime statistics demonstrating a reduction in violent crime in 2025 [1]. White House spokesperson Lauren Bise stated: "President Trump committed to making America safe again, and the data proves he has delivered" [1].
The visit is designed to bolster Republican candidates ahead of midterm elections, particularly Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who is seeking the governorship [1]. Trump narrowly won Nassau County in 2024, marking the first Republican victory in that county in over two decades [1]. Republicans now view the county's two Democratic-held House seats as potentially winnable [1]. Trump will be accompanied by Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel [1].
However, Trump's messaging on crime faces headwinds. An AP-NORC poll shows his approval rating on handling crime declined by 10 percentage points between August and December 2025 [1]. Additionally, Trump has strongly criticized a recent report from the Center for American Progress that found National Guard deployments failed to reduce crime [1].
