Democrats have forced Trump off the campaign trail, thanks to a criminal trial in New York City. But if they thought this would hurt Trump’s election chances, they might have been very wrong.
Trump has been campaigning in the very heart of the deep blue state. And it looked as if many New Yorkers have been excited to see and greet him.
So much so, that Trump decided to hold a rally in South Bronx. This largely black and Hispanic part of the city has been a Democratic stronghold for decades. Despite this, the former president held one of his iconic events. And it looks like New York came out in force.
From The Post Millennial:
Speaking on Thursday night in the Bronx’s Crotona Park, an area that last voted for a Republican presidential candidate in the 1980s, Trump addressed how Biden’s policies have affected the predominantly black and Hispanic borough and vowed to bring the city back to greatness.Trump declared that he was going to “turn New York City around, and we are going to turn it around very, very quickly.” The crowd went wild…
The crowd, many of which had been in the area awaiting Trump’s speech for hours, frequently broke out into chants of “USA” and “We Love Trump.”
Trump railed against Democrats, including Joe Biden, for hurting the iconic city. He lamented how leftist policies have hurt New York, especially the hard-working citizens of the city. And he vowed to make New York “great again,” along with the rest of America.
The crowd was raucous. Some claim as many as 25,000 people attended the event—defying expectations. Democrats like New York congresswoman AOC claimed that the Trump camp’s numbers were false. Then, she claimed most of the people were from out of town. But she may be way off the mark.
NEW: Bronx voters clap back at AOC after she blasted Donald Trump for holding a rally in the Bronx.
“You need to tell her then she need to stay out the Bronx 'cause look at all the people around.”

Videos and photos seem to suggest the crowd was huge. And while we can assume many came from out of town, plenty of those attending revealed they were Bronx natives.
Even CNN had to admit this was a sight to behold.
From Breitbart:
[CNN National Correspondent Kristen] Holmes said, “Well, 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.”After stating that there are often people at Trump rallies who aren’t from the area the rally is held and traveled long distances to attend the rally, at this event “there were a lot of people here that were actually from the Bronx.”
Nobody expected Trump to bring out a single person to a rally in New York. The fact that there was such an enthusiastic crowd, regardless of the final number, is staggering. In the bluest city in America, Trump brought out thousands of excited supporters.
Biden is very scared, right now.
Key Takeaways:
- Donald Trump hosted a campaign rally in the South Bronx, a Democrat stronghold.
- Thousands attended the rally; reports indicate many of them were from the area.
- CNN had to admit that the number was bigger than what “Democrats would like to see.”
