In a strategic move aimed at bolstering his support ahead of Election Day, former President Donald Trump is set to host a grand rally at the renowned Madison Square Garden in New York City, according to an insider source cited by the New York Post.
Scheduled for October 27, the rally comes as a significant part of Trump's final campaign push, just nine days shy of the election.
According to The Post Millennial, this event, which operates on a first-come, first-serve basis, marks the third of its kind in the New York City vicinity featuring Trump in recent times. The former president's popularity was evident last month when he drew a crowd of approximately 16,000 supporters at a rally in Uniondale, Long Island. Similarly, a summer rally in the Bronx's Crotona Park also witnessed a substantial turnout.
Trump has previously expressed his interest in hosting a rally at Madison Square Garden. In a conversation with Fox News in February, he hinted at the possibility, stating, "I think I will do one maybe at Madison Square Garden." He further highlighted the shifting political landscape in New York, saying, "New York has changed a lot in the last two years. People that would have never voted for me because I'm a Republican I think they're going to vote for me. So I think we're going to give New York a heavy shot."
In April, Trump echoed similar sentiments, informing reporters in lower Manhattan about his plans for the rally. "We're going to be doing a rally at Madison Square Garden, we believe," he said, adding, "We think we're signing Madison Square Garden to do. We're going to have a big rally honoring the police and honoring the firemen and everybody. Honoring a lot of people, including teachers, by the way." This rally, therefore, not only serves as a political maneuver but also as a tribute to various community heroes, including teachers, police, and firefighters.
