Former President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in the Bronx, where thousands of supporters wearing MAGA hats filled Crotona Park. Despite the diverse crowd, the rally focused on typical Trump talking points, such as crime and immigration. Trump promised to help New York City if he were to be re-elected and highlighted his support for the city. The rally was an unlikely location for a Republican event, considering the Bronx’s Democratic-leaning demographics. Some attendees, like Dominican immigrants Pedro and Gina Dominguez, supported Trump more for his personality than his policies. The rally was part of Trump’s campaign strategy to reach out to voters in urban areas and swing voters, despite not expecting to win New York. Local elected officials, such as Rep. Ritchie Torres, criticized Trump’s visit, calling him a “fraud.” A counter-rally was also held in the park, with protesters expressing anti-Trump sentiments. The event reflected the shifting demographics and support for Trump among Latinos and young voters, despite his low approval ratings overall. Trump aimed to appeal to a broader audience by emphasizing his connection to New Yorkers and addressing local issues, such as crime and infrastructure.
