Former President Donald Trump will perform at Madison Square Garden in deep blue New York City in a highly anticipated rally that fans are calling “iconic.”

“This is going to be an iconic, historic day and you can see it’s already packed. I mean, this is amazing. These tickets sold out in less than three hours. “This shows the enthusiasm, the momentum, the energy that we have in this closing chapter of an incredible campaign,” New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik told Fox News Digital from inside Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

Trump is expected to take the stage after 5pm on Sunday evening, and supporters began gathering in anticipation of the event on Saturday. Trump had rumored for months that he would hold a rally at Madison Square Garden and officially announced the event in early October.

“We just leased Madison Square Garden. We will play a game. We’re going to play a game for New York. It hasn’t been done in a long time. It hasn’t been done in decades,” Trump said at a rally in Pennsylvania earlier this month. New York last voted for a Republican president in 1984, when President Ronald Reagan won the state of Minnesota in a landslide victory.

Stefanik told Fox Digital: Trump can win the giant stateHe says Vice President Kamala Harris is underperforming with voters in New York’s swing districts.

“I think President Trump can make history and win New York, and here’s why. When you look at Kamala Harris’ performance, she underperforms Joe Biden in all swing counties in New York. He will be the lowest-performing Democratic presidential candidate since the 1980s. President Trump has historic support among growing demographic groups, African American voters, Hispanic voters, Jewish voters and working-class voters. “So this is an America First movement that works for all Americans, and I think New York can make history on Election Day.”
