Former President Donald Trump is making waves in New York City as he gears up for the 2024 election, despite facing legal troubles. With his travel restricted due to the Manhattan hush money criminal trial, Trump is taking his campaign to the South Bronx for a rally in Crotona Park on May 23.
This rally marks Trump’s first in New York since 2016, and he is expected to address key issues such as the economy, crime rates, and the migrant crisis. The Trump campaign has been vocal about criticizing President Biden’s policies, claiming that New Yorkers have suffered greatly as a result.
Despite facing 34 counts of falsifying business records in relation to hush money payments, Trump has been actively campaigning in the city. From recording radio interviews to handing out pizzas to firefighters, the former president is making his presence known in the Big Apple.
While Trump may not be the favorite son of New York City, he still maintains a following in certain areas such as Staten Island and parts of south Brooklyn. However, the city as a whole leans heavily Democratic, with President Biden winning by large margins in 2020.
Trump’s upcoming rally in the South Bronx is sure to draw attention and spark debate as he continues to navigate the political landscape amidst legal challenges. Stay tuned for more updates on his campaign efforts in the city that never sleeps.
