Eventually, Trump and Tyson headed out to New York, but not before stopping by reporters.

“We’re going up to a place called Syracuse and we’re gonna get some wonderful people elected. This is Iron Mike Tyson. I won’t be fighting him today, but I’ve been his fan for a long time. We’ve been friends for a long time. Iron Mike — there’s nobody like him,” Trump gushed. “He was a champ, he was a real champ. People were afraid to fight him. He was something special. He’s going with us to Syracuse.”
The fighter was even brought on stage to speak:

TYSON: “I’m just happy to be up here with my president, President Trump! There’s no way I’d be here if it wasn’t for a president like Donald Trump!”

“I’m just happy to be up here with my president, President Trump! There’s no way I’d be here if it wasn’t for a president like Donald Trump!” Tyson exclaimed.
Trump was campaigning to help Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman turn the blue state red, asking voters to “[p]lease pretend I’m on the freaking ballot” when they are voting this November.
“And in a really, in a certain way, I am on the ballot because they can take away everything that we, that we got,” he added.
“[Blakeman will] save this state. He’ll turn the state around and I’ll help him from the White House. I’ll be helping him for governor,” Trump said.
