Trump Campaign Announces MAGA Rally in the Bronx

During national elections, Republicans have generally surrendered states, like New York, to the Democratic party, not bothering to use up resources and campaign in these deep blue areas. This is understandable as there are more than double the percentage of registered Democrats compared to registered Republicans in New York. This dynamic, however, may finally change because President Trump is not your typical Republican candidate, and decades of bad policies may have taken their toll on the citizens of these regions.

There had been rumors swirling that Trump’s campaign was planning to have an event in the Bronx, a borough of New York City, but nothing had been formally set in stone. Well, last week it became official. Trump’s team obtained a permit to hold a rally in Crotona Park, a section in the South Bronx, on Thursday, May 23^rd. He will speak about issues relevant to all American citizens, including the economy, soaring crime, and the impact illegal migration is having on the United States, particularly in areas like New York City.

As someone who lived in the Bronx for 27 years, I truly appreciate Trump’s attempt to capture the vote here. The stat I provided above paints a bleak picture for any candidate on the Republican ticket, but keep in mind that although Democrats outpace Republicans by a large margin in New York City, only a very small fraction of residents actually vote, leaving the fate of the candidate up to a select few. Why do only a small number of individuals vote in such a large city? Possibly because people in these areas have simply given up and regrettably accepted the notion that nothing will change. I saw this firsthand when I lived in the Bronx. Those who had the means left New York for states like Florida and the Carolinas, overburdened by punitive taxes and receiving little to nothing in return for their hard-earned dollars. But Trump has animated a variety of those who remain, who are fed up with being taken for granted and want to have a better quality of life.

This upcoming rally seems to have been primed by smaller appearances in New York as President Trump is battling an unjust court case. During the course of his current trial, he visited a bodega in Manhattan, where much to the mainstream media’s chagrin, he was met with cheers and people chanting, “Trump!” Why? The answer is simple – he was addressing a real concern of local business owners being robbed, assaulted, and ignored by elected officials. He also met with union workers in Manhattan who were thrilled to meet and speak with the former president. Of course, there was the recent New Jersey rally that drew a crowd of approximately 100,000 people, proving that maybe blue states are not a lost cause for Republicans, or at least not for an unconventional Republican like President Trump.

Trump is certainly proving once again to be a trailblazer. The Republicans have given up on these voters and the Democrats have taken them for granted. President Trump is offering these abandoned and forgotten people a new hope – he’s extending his hand out to them, addressing real concerns. It is, perhaps, mostly his unapologetic and bold manner that attracts voters like the ones he will speak to on Thursday, who are comprised of all colors, ethnicities, and walks of life.
