Donald Trump, the ex-President, reaffirmed his belief in winning a traditionally Democratic state in a video shared on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday. Despite current polling indicating otherwise, Trump, a native of Queens, New York, remains confident in securing victory in his home state.
“I believe that with your support, we can win the state of New York and I’m looking to win it as your presidential nominee. We are going to win New York – remember those words. I hope I’m gonna be correct. If I am, the election is over,” he said. ‘
“There’s tremendous discontent in New York with hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants taking over your schools and your playgrounds, and the crime that’s happening in the city of New York and the state of New York. The lack of supervision, the lack of control, the lack of leadership, terrible things are happening in New York. I think we can win it,” he added.
“And again, we’re gonna make a big play for New York, presidentially,” Trump reiterated. “And so get out and join us. It’s gonna be one of the greatest wins, I think, in the history of the state. There’s no question about it and I do believe we can do it.”
Trump has already organized a widely attended rally in the backyard of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a far-left representative from the Bronx. He also mentioned his intention to hold additional rallies in the Empire State last month. Prior to his hush money trial, Trump visited a construction site in lower Manhattan where he received a warm reception from workers and other residents of New York. In an interview with a Fox News reporter, he expressed his determination to make a strong political move in the state.
“I think we have a good chance of winning here, and we’re going to give it a big plan,” he said. “We’re going to the South Bronx to do a rally. We’re going to be doing a rally at Madison Square Garden, we believe.”
The rallies will focus on honoring police, firemen, and teachers, Breitbart reported. “We’ll be honoring the people that make New York work,” Trump said. “It’ll be very exciting, but we think we have a really good chance of winning.”
