Just days before America heads to one of the most pivotal elections in recent history, former President Donald Trump has set his sights on the heart of New York City, announcing a massive rally at the iconic Madison Square Garden. The campaign released the information at lightning speed on a Monday afternoon, clearly eager to make a splash in a city that often feels like a bastion of liberal policies and progressive ideals.
At this rally, Trump aims to deliver a no-nonsense message to New Yorkers, emphasizing his record of success. According to the campaign, the choice is clear: if citizens of the Empire State want their wallets to stop feeling the squeeze and their neighborhoods to feel safer, they need to embrace the Trump-Vance ticket. The statement further highlights how New York has been suffering from the disastrous policies introduced by Kamala Harris and fellow Democrats like Mayor Eric Adams. Since the Biden administration took over, New Yorkers have collectively suffered a financial loss of about $28,537 per household due to rising costs in essential areas like food, shelter, energy, and transportation.
It's Happening: Trump to Hold Campaign Rally at Madison Square Garden

The former president’s rally will shine a glaring light on two of the biggest issues plaguing the city: illegal immigration and skyrocketing crime rates. The consequences of the Democrat’s open-border approach have not just been hard on taxpayers but have also led to a noticeable uptick in criminal activity. With over 210,000 migrants entering New York since Spring 2022, the city is now faced with a staggering $10 billion price tag, all while trying to manage increasingly chaotic streets.
Local police are sounding the alarm over the uptick in crime, tying it directly to illegal immigrant populations. Reports indicate that a whopping 75 percent of arrests in midtown Manhattan involve individuals who have entered the country unlawfully. One particularly troubling case involves an illegal Venezuelan migrant linked to a shocking 22 crimes within just six months. Despite this alarming record, he has yet to be deported—proof that the policies championed by Harris are not only failing but are actively endangering the citizens of New York.
With the rally set for October 27 at 5:00 PM ET, it’s clear that Trump intends to paint a stark picture of liberal governance. As he prepares to gather supporters at an iconic venue, one can’t help but wonder if New Yorkers will finally wake up to the harsh realities of Democrat policies—or if they’ll remain stuck in a liberal fantasy land, sipping overpriced lattes while their city crumbles around them.
