SOUTH BRONX, NEW YORK: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will be addressing his people in the South Bronx next week.

The native of Empire State will be holding his first campaign rally since 2016, on May 23 at 6 pm in Crotona Park.

What to expect from Donald Trump's New York rally?

The State’s economy, crime rate, and migrant crisis will be at the top of his agenda next week.

“New Yorkers have suffered greatly thanks to Biden’s failed policies,” Team Trump said on Friday, as per the New York Post.

“The Empire State, a place near to President Trump’s heart, has been decimated by Biden,” it added. “President Trump will ease the financial pressures placed on households and re-establish law and order in New York!”

The campaign team also stressed the double-digit percentage point rise in murder and assault rates in New York since 2019 and the increase in the cost of goods since Democrats came to power.

“We can Make America Great Again by tackling lawlessness head-on, ceasing the endless flow of illegal immigrants across our southern border, and reversing the detrimental effects of inflation by restoring people’s wealth,” the statement read.

Trump moved to his Florida Mar-a-Lago resort in 2019.

On May 2, Trump and his campaign team made a good gesture by delivering pizzas to a Manhattan firehouse after his court hearing in the hush money trial case.

Interestingly, on Saturday, May 18, a rally in Wildwood, New Jersey witnessed recorded crowds of 80,000 and 100,000 people.
