Staten Island Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, the only Republican member of Congress representing a New York City district, told The Post she thinks Trump’s Bronx rally is “a great start.”

“It’s exciting for New York City to have President Trump rallying, and it’s important for him to reach out to, particularly minority communities. I think New York is in play,” she said.

“New York is desperate for a balance, and they’ve shown that … We flipped that City Council seat in the Bronx, right in the heart of AOC’s district. In my congressional district, we were able to flip multiple [state] Assembly seats Republican.

“My district would love for President Donald Trump to make a stop, particularly Staten Island,” added Malliotakis, shouting out the only borough to back Trump in both 2016 and 2020.

Of note, the Bronx hasn't backed a Republican candidate for White House in 100 years when Calvin Coolidge won every single NY county in 1920 and 1924.

New York City alone, has 8 million + people, not to mention neighboring states and towns. Why would the author assume that only people from the Bronx will be attending?

Biden’s regime has hiked the costs of living so high that many, many traditional D voters are being squeezed and squeezed really hard.

yes, DJT has to reach out ... and when he does, he can do really rather well

This could be a watershed moment in the campaign.

The park only holds a couple thousand? Ooohhh boy...

Meanwhile, Joe “81,000,000” Biden is doing what?

Adams will cancel the permit. Bet on it.

What have you got to lose?

“The park only holds a couple thousand people. So this is certainly not going to be a Wildwood. But you know what, President Trump is certainly not afraid to show up,” Trump campaign spokesperson Danielle Alvarez told The Post.

Crotona Park is big. Not sure why the campaign is saying it holds only a couple of thousand.

I advocated this before the sham trial even started, but I suggested a rally at the Apollo theatre. Is it still there?

The permit allows 3,500 people. I bet there will be many times that, MAYBE, as it is a work day.

RE: but I suggested a rally at the Apollo theatre. Is it still there?

Yes, it’s still there, but it will be way too small than the crowds they’re anticipating. Apollo can only seat 1,500.

The overflow crowd will be massive!

What are the demographics of the Bronxl

According to Google’s Gemini AI Large Language Model Chatbot:

The Bronx has a very diverse population. Here’s a breakdown of the most recent estimates (2022)::

Hispanic: 56.6% (This category can include people of any race)

Black or African American: 28.2%
White: 8.3%

Asian: 3.9%

It’s important to note that the Hispanic population category encompasses people of various races. Some resources differentiate between Hispanic and non-Hispanic white populations.

For example, the NYU Furman Center estimates that 8.3% of the Bronx population is white and non-Hispanic, while 9.34% is white and Hispanic.

This is the strategy to win: go to the people held in liberal bondage and show them there’s another way.

[GOPJ]

AOC can’t get 100 people to show up.

Biden in New Hampshire? If he hasn’t given the old folks a free lunch he would have had the press and 12 ‘participants’.

trump could also hold a rally in front of the unisphere in queens— imho a big photo-op

Watch people show up anyways.

They do nothing about Auntie Fah and BLM and the islamist “protesters”. One could ask what they’d do about it for Trump supporters, but they’d put that down ruthlessly in a heartbeat, knowing the left.
