New York’s 2022 Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin said he would consider serving in a Trump White House if the former president wins back the Oval Office.
Zeldin, a former Long Island congressman, told The Post Monday that he’ll be “answering the call for public service” in the future.
“I’m not thinking about myself. But if the president of the United States asks you to consider serving in a particular capacity, that’s something to be taken seriously and not dismissed without significant thought,” Zeldin told The Post Monday.
He has not ruled out running for public office again.
“In the future I will enter government service — even if I’m not a candidate on the ballot this year,” the Army reservist said.
The former Rep. emphasized he’s focusing solely on helping Trump and other Republicans on the ballot win in the Nov. 5 election — not his own prospects.
Zeldin, who is stumping across the country as a Trump campaign surrogate while the ex-president faces criminal trial in Manhattan, will address the Michigan Republican Party Monday night in the battleground suburb of Oakland County.
He insisted Trump can can snatch the blue-leaning Wolverine State from President Biden in the general election — by making inroads among Jewish, black, Latino and Asian voters.
Middle of the road Michigan voters are enraged that a growing segment of the Democratic Party supports Hamas over the Jewish State of Israel, he said.
“We have to engage these voters. They are concerned about inflation, crime and illegal immigration,” Zeldin said.
He suggested that during breaks in his trial in New York, Trump should do meet and greets with Latino voters, appear on black radio stations, and visit the cemetery of Grand Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson.
