A major campaign rally at New York’s iconic Madison Square Garden (MSG) has been booked by former President Donald Trump later this month as he enters the final stretch of the 2024 race for the White House.
News of the mass rally confirms hints Trump gave Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alexander Marlow and Washington Political Editor Matthew Boyle last December when he flagged the move. As Breitbart News subsequently reported he said:
But we’re going to do these other states too, and it will be a heavy move. I may rent Madison Square Garden and that’s the belly of the beast, right?
Now the New York Post confirms the Republican campaign event is set to take place on Oct. 27, nine days before Election Day, sources told the outlet.
A massive turnout at the Midtown Manhattan venue is expected for the rally, which will be a strictly first-come, first-serve event.
Trump, 78, drew about 16,000 fans for a celebratory gathering at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, Long Island, last month.

Rock ‘n’ roll!
I’m not sure what to make of this.
"Down Ballot" campaign.
It’s his home turf. He speaks their language
There’s a huge. Yuge Trump support in the NYC suburbs. Suffolk co especially
He will draw a yuge boisterous crowd they will roar. They’ll take over that section of manhattan- though it is a Sunday
It will get Media coverage
There are several things to make of this.
1. Since the rallies are televised on various platforms Trump may feel that it doesn’t matter where they are held
2. He may feel that that either he has a shot at NY State or wants to help down-ballot races
3. He may just be messing with the Democrats head
4. All of the above.
Down ballot, certainly. That’s why he’s doing a rally in CA. Also, maybe I’m wrong here, but I’m starting to think Trump is trying to build a nationwide mandate. Does he want to win the popular vote as well as the Electoral College? Is he trying to beat the cheat?
“ He may just be messing with the Democrats head”
Why would he not mess with them?
IF, and I say IF -
Trump wins NY state think back to where it all started. The bullshit 4 days a week FAKE trial that kept PDJT lassoed to NY / NJ area. The idea being he can’t be on the campaign trail. What does PDJT do? He started making spontaneous appearances around the big apple where he was embraced by the public.
God I hope this happens. If nothing else a good showing in congressional races would be a nice bonus.
Winning the House is crucial for a second Trump term. If Democrats somehow get the House, they will prioritize non-stop impeachments of Trump. Democrat leaders are really sickening people.
Filling large stadiums, repeatedly, on short notice, does not go unnoticed, by vacilators.
He will fill it. In lib tv and it will be noticed. A week before election day
Fearless, I like it. Even if he could improve numbers in NYC add that to the other parts of the state that vote more right it could cause some pain and make them spend wasted money in a stronghold.
He won’t carry the state himself, but he may help win several US congressional seats, as had Lee Zeldin in ‘22, and improve the balance of power in Albany. And given the internecine battles between Mayor Adams and allegedly fellow Rat lawfare there should be plenty of targets to exploit.
Yep, Trump is now campaigning for Congressional majorities.
Why make anything of it. Just enjoy the boldness of it. Look, this is DJT's last campaign. He was born and raised in NYC and loves it. Why shouldn't he hold a rally in Madison Square Garden?
“Is he trying to beat the cheat?”
Hope so!!!!
He will fill Madison Square Garden up, and a lot more!
That seems like a very dangerous place to do a rally.
This is to grab a couple seats in Congress.
