Trump to begin final 2024 campaign push with a historic rally at Madison Square Garden in deep blue New York City

10/18/2024 / By Ava Grace

Former President Donald Trump has announced that the final leg of his presidential campaign will begin on Oct. 27 with a major rally at Madison Square Garden (MSG) in New York City.

MSG has been the site of several key Republican conventions, including the Republican National Convention of 2004.

Trump is not new to the idea of a rally at this well-known arena. During an interview in February, he mentioned the possibility, citing changes in New York’s political landscape as a motivating factor. Trump expressed confidence that he could garner votes from a broader spectrum of New Yorkers, indicating a focused effort in the state for the upcoming election. In April, he again suggested that a rally at MSG was imminent.

Trump, who recently addressed an observance in Florida commemorating the anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, has attracted substantial crowds whenever he holds rallies in New York.

Last month, approximately 16,000 supporters attended his rally at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, Long Island. Earlier in the summer, up to 10,000 people congregated at Crotona Park in the Bronx, surpassing the venue’s permit limit of 3,500 attendees. Approximately 20,000 Trump supporters are expected to attend the rally at MSG.

The corporate media has expressed alarm at the level of support for Donald Trump at a rally in the Democratic stronghold of the Bronx. They were particularly worried about the “more diverse crowd” that turned out to see him. The New York Times noted that many Black and Hispanic voters were spotted at Trump’s rally.

The newspaper observed that the “approving reception for such anti-immigrant messaging was particularly striking in New York, a sanctuary city.”

CNN also reported the shocking appeal Trump had in the Bronx, with one reporter noting that there was “certainly a bigger crowd than I think Democrats would like to see, particularly given this is one of the bluest counties in the entire country.”

Trump himself was unsure how well he would be received.

“I woke up, I said, ‘I wonder, will it be hostile or will it be friendly?'” he said. “It was beyond friendly. It was a love fest.”

Trump receives major endorsement from New York City business group

The Bodega and Small Business Group (BSBG), which represents thousands of bodegas in New York City, has issued a statement backing Trump, slamming Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and hitting out at New York politicians who have ignored the widespread criminality occurring in the city.

“The Bodega and Small Business Group (BSBG)… is honored to host President Donald J. Trump at the Blue Moon bodega in Manhattan where Jose Alba was arrested for simply defending himself and his business against a convicted felon,” the statement began.

“The Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, only backed off after an angry public campaign from store owners and their supporters united behind Alba and his Constitutional rights,” said the group. “The Bodega and Small Business Group appreciates President Trump’s support on behalf of tougher enforcement for retail thieves that are making our stores more dangerous and less profitable at the same time.”

BSBG President Fransisco Marte said: “The visit of President Trump highlights just how much we have lost the way in New York. It is our hope that a former president coming to support NYC’s smallest stores, and also to demonstrate his support for stronger laws and enforcement, will spur our own elected officials to action.”
