Westchester County is holding a special election on Tuesday to pick a leader, a decision that will likely be influenced in one way or another by President Trump.

President Trump posted on Truth Social Feb. 10 encouraging people to 'vote Republican' in the special election for County Executive.

Democrat Ken Jenkins and Republican Christine Sculti are running to fill the last year of the term vacated by former Westchester County Executive George Latimer, who is now in Congress. Jenkins, Latimer’s former deputy, was appointed by the Board of Legislators last month to serve as county executive until Election Day.

Democrat Ken Jenkins is facing off against Republican Christine Sculti in the race to fill out the final year of George Latimer's term. CBS News New York's Tony Aiello reports.

President Trump threw his weight behind the GOP candidate in the Westchester County executive’s special election set for Tuesday, blasting Democrats in the Big Apple suburb for “protecting” criminal migrants.
