In a bid to cut into President Biden's support in a Democratic stronghold, former President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in the Bronx, New York. The event took place just miles away from where a jury will soon begin deliberating his fate in a criminal hush money trial. Trump's efforts to garner support from Black and Hispanic voters in the Bronx come as recent polls suggest he is making gains within key blocks of President Biden's coalition.
Despite the historically strong Democratic lean in New York, Trump remains optimistic about his chances in the state, vowing to win over New Yorkers. However, past election results show that no Republican nominee has carried New York since Ronald Reagan in 1984, with Trump losing the state by more than 20 points in both 2016 and 2020.
