Thousands of supporters of former President Donald Trump have flocked to New York City for a rally in the heart of the traditionally Democratic stronghold. The excitement was palpable as a sea of people, stretching over a block, eagerly waited in line to enter the iconic Madison Square Garden, also known as the "World's Most Famous Arena."
As the crowd chanted "USA, USA, USA" and "Trump, Trump, Trump," police gradually allowed them to pass through the barricaded streets. Some spectators even spotted two snipers stationed on a nearby rooftop, keeping a watchful eye over the event.
The streets of Manhattan were buzzing with Trump supporters, proudly donning the signature red "Make America Great Again" hats. People of all ages and backgrounds were united in their support for the former president, with many wearing Trump flags over their shoulders.
One Queens resident, 24-year-old Nick Lauda, and his friend arrived early to secure a good spot in line, eager to catch a glimpse of Trump in person. "I think it speaks volumes about his popularity that he was able to secure such a large venue," Lauda shared with Metro. He has been a staunch supporter of Trump since his first presidential run in 2016.
Lauda's sentiments were echoed by many in the crowd, who expressed confidence in Trump's ability to win the upcoming election. "The polls are already skewed towards the Democrats, so I believe he's actually leading by a significant margin," Lauda added. However, he acknowledged that nothing is certain and that there's always a level of uncertainty in politics.
Outside the arena, vendors were selling Trump merchandise, a sight rarely seen in the predominantly Democratic city. One British woman, who chose to remain anonymous, braved the backlash from her friends to attend the rally. She supports Trump's stance on securing the border and finds it disheartening that voicing her support for the former president is considered taboo in New York City.
David Schey, a Long Island resident, also joined the rally to show his support for Trump. "He's the best choice for America right now," Schey stated confidently. "He's a strong candidate, especially on the world stage." The energy and enthusiasm of the crowd were contagious, with many expressing their belief that Trump is the right leader for the country at this crucial time.
The rally took place just a day after Trump made a comment about Vice President Kamala Harris attending an event with Beyoncé. The former president joked that while Harris was "at a dance party with Beyoncé," his opponent Joe Biden was "asleep" in Michigan. Harris herself was caught jokingly cursing at a bar in the same state, playfully teasing the media for eavesdropping on their conversation.
As the anticipation for Trump's appearance grew, the enthusiasm and excitement among his supporters were palpable. The rally was a testament to the strong support Trump continues to enjoy, even in a traditionally blue state like New York.
