While it may seem like New York is hardly friendly political terrain for Trump, despite his deep history with the city, he’s expected to receive a very warm welcome according to the New York Post:
The Post took to the streets Tuesday to get reactions to the 45th president’s first major campaign event in his birth state for eight years — and to see what kind of traction the Republican’s message might get in a borough that hasn’t gone for the GOP in 100 years.
Joe Randazzo, owner of Randazzo’s Seafood on Arthur Avenue, said President Biden had ushered in a wave of high inflation and violent crime.
“We had a group of some gang members from Venezuela, who met up with each other and they started shooting at each other on the street at 9:30 in the morning,” Randazzo, 70, told The Post.
The seafood monger added that he was emphatically behind Trump and that he planned to attend Thursday’s scheduled Crotona Park rally if his schedule allowed.
Artist and entrepreneur Cherie Corso said she “went through the fire for Trump,” with neighbors in her left-leaning Westchester suburb calling her “racist” and cutting her out of social gatherings after she went public with her support in 2016.
“But I liked his policies. And I still like his policies. And I don’t like the direction that the country’s gone. So I definitely am going to vote for a Republican. I always vote Republican, and I’m always gonna vote for Trump.”
“Always Trump,” added the MAGA diehard.
Republican presidential candidates don’t waste time campaigning in New York, that’s just a fact. However. some observers believe that the political wind has turned so hard against President Biden that areas like New York and New Jersey could be in play come November. That seems like a stretch as the partisan divide of either loving or hating Trump, with little room in between, cuts sharply in the heavily Democratic boroughs of New York City.
Nonetheless, Trump’s Bronx rally will be historic for several reasons especially as Biden continues losing support from minorities and young voters.
Trump is expected to speak around 6 pm ET. Watch live at the stream above and follow the Trump rally schedule for details on all upcoming campaign events.
