Trump told The Post that he believes a spike in violent crime and high taxes can help him win his home state in an upset against Biden and running mate Kamala Harris.

“Over the last six months what’s happened is insane. It’s insane. So we’re going to try very hard to win New York and that will be the first time — is that since Ronald Reagan, I guess? Since Ronald Reagan,” Trump said.

“I will bring down taxes and I’ll make sure that New York City is a safe place. I mean, this is one of our cherished — this is a cherished diamond of this country. And we can’t let this happen to New York.”

Is Florida his home state now?
In 1968, Nixon was a resident of New York.

See this kind of mindset is why the GOP always has such a narrow path to victory in a presidential election if you don’t even try how do you even know? I don’t see the democrats ever writing off any states but man the Republicans are like well we can’t win here btw he got 41.3 percent in 2016 and a NJ congressman change to the Republican Party during impeachment why not try he’s got over a billion dollar war chest throw 20 mill in Jersey see what happens
