Donald Trump Looking to Host Rally at Madison Square Garden
NEW YORK, NY—With the 2024 election creeping up in just a few days, former President Donald Trump is moving ahead with an October 27 rally at New York City’s legendary Madison Square Garden. Despite New York being a deep blue state, Trump wants to send his home some love. A deeper dive into why the ex-president is targeting this marquee event.
The Trump Resolve to ‘Pack the Court’
Donald Trump is said to have his sights set on hosting a rally at Madison Square Garden, one of the most iconic venues in world sport. The Bulwark reports that for at least a year, he has been obsessed with getting there and telling close observers “I’m gonna fill the Garden. It is not just a rally for Trump, who was born in New York City and still retains his roots as being one of the city’s most successful real estate developers.
A NEW YORK PLAY: The New Rally in the Blue State
New York has voted Democratic in every presidential election for the past 30 years, but Trump insists he can turn it red three months from now. Speaking at a recent rally in Scranton, Pennsylvania, he said of the Madison Square Garden event: “We just sold out.” We are going to take New York. And he confirmed that determination again during a rally in Long Island, insisting its still possible for Republicans to win the state.
More Than Just Winning New York — Campaign Strategy
When it comes to New York City, there are any number of strategic reasons the decision could be made. This is why it might be smart for Trump:
Part of it is the New York in Trump showing his hometown pride and another part seems to be him proving himself back at home. The 73-year-old New Yorker has lived a lifetime of doing what everyone says he cannot do.
In the Rearview: It has been suggested that the rally is an effort to suppress bad memories at Madison Square Garden, like being booed at UFC 244 in November of last year.
Strengthening Republican Numbers: While Trump is unlikely to carry the state, his presence could fire up GOP voters and pay dividends for Republicans running in down-ballot races.
Fundraising and Offering the MAGA Experience: The campaign is advertising an “ Ultra MAGA Rally” for almost $1 million. It could be a way for someone to generate desperately needed campaign dollars, and with the Kamala Harris money machine cruising mile-high numbers…
RNC: Reaching Out to All Americans
The significance of the rally, an RNC spokesperson said in a statement Friday night is that President Trump will campaign for every single vote and help unite traditional Democratic states. They said she “has failed Americans across the country” with her policies and pointed to Trump’s vision of an ‘America First’ agenda.
The Future: New York Politics
New York hasn’t voted for a Republican presidential candidate since the 1980s, and two recent polls showed Trump would lose New York next year by more than 20 percentage points. Yet the campaign is said to be hopeful, hanging its hopes on a former president’s rare mix of charisma and determination as enough to draw an audience.
Overcoming Online Pranksters
The one obstacle for the rally is that online pranksters may reserve their tickets but do not show. Nonetheless, Trump’s team is determined to fill the arena and make a big splash in N.Y.
