Former President Trump made a significant move by holding an event in the South Bronx today, a location that has historically been a stronghold for Democratic candidates. The South Bronx, part of the district represented by Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has not seen a Republican presidential candidate win since Calvin Coolidge in 1924. Despite this, thousands of supporters are expected to attend the event.
This visit follows Trump's recent stop at a bodega in Harlem, showcasing his efforts to engage with communities typically not aligned with the Republican Party. The Bronx, where Ronald Reagan was the last Republican to secure a victory in New York, rarely sees Republican candidates campaigning in the area.
