So why is Trump holding a rally in New York?

The former president has long maintained that he believes he can win his home state and has talked about holding a rally at Madison Square Garden as early as March 2023. when indicted on commercial fraud charges.

The 78-year-old Republican candidate is expected to talk about his policies and how he will change New York as the 47th president.

“President Trump’s message to New York City is simple and based on his winning record: If you want to return to the strongest economy in more than 60 years, rising wages, quality jobs, strong borders and safer neighborhoods, then vote for Trump. (JD) Vance ticket,” the campaign said while promoting the event.

An adviser to Trump told The Post that MSG’s appearance — although it likely won’t turn New York red — would make waves in the national media and dominate headlines on a sleepy Sunday.

A Republican hasn’t carried New York since Ronald Reagan defeated Democrat Walter Mondale in 1984, and polls show Vice President Kamala Harris leading Trump by double digits.

Perhaps most importantly, this convention will serve as an opportunity to fundraise for the campaign and support down-ballot candidates, especially in tightly contested congressional races in New York.

When was the last time Madison Square Garden was used for a campaign rally?

Since opening in February 1968, the current version of MSG has hosted the Democratic National Convention three times, in 1976, 1980 and 1992, and the Republican National Convention once in 2004.

In the past, the Garden’s predecessor, about 15 blocks up Eighth Avenue, was a popular place for candidates to deliver their closing arguments to the country.

Herbert Hoover spoke at MSG III in late October 1928 and 1932. Franklin Delano Roosevelt did the same four years later, as did Harry Truman in 1948 and John F. Kennedy in 1960.

The last candidate to hold a rally at Madison Square Garden in late October is believed to be Alabama Governor George Wallace, who addressed his supporters in the closing days of the 1968 campaign.
