Former President Donald Trump is set to hold a massive campaign rally at New York City's Madison Square Garden on Sunday, just nine days before the upcoming election. The event, which quickly sold out upon announcement, will take place in the 19,500-seat venue, home to the New York Knicks and New York Rangers.
The Trump campaign has promised a star-studded program featuring political icons, celebrities, musical artists, and friends and family of the former president. The event aims to highlight President Trump as the best choice to address the issues that Kamala Harris has allegedly caused.
Notable figures expected to attend the rally include Elon Musk, CEO of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Dana White, former Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, political commentator Tucker Carlson, and former Democrat presidential nominee turned Republican Tulsi Gabbard.
From the music world, Death Row Records founder Michael Harris Jr., singer Lee Greenwood, and opera singer Christopher Macchio are scheduled to make appearances. The Garden, which has hosted both the Republican National Convention (RNC) and the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in the past, will be the backdrop for this high-profile event.
President Trump's campaign has expressed intentions to compete in traditionally blue states like New Jersey, Virginia, Minnesota, and New Mexico. Trump has previously voiced his commitment to addressing issues in New York, particularly focusing on public safety and law enforcement.
This rally marks Trump's second major event in New York, following a successful rally at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island last month. The campaign has seen overwhelming support at previous rallies, with thousands of attendees showing up to hear the former president speak.
While the likelihood of New York turning red in the upcoming election remains slim, the rally is seen as a strategic move to energize Republican voters and potentially impact down-ballot races, such as the battle for the House of Representatives majority.
