Donald Trump considers a 2024 rally in South Bronx: Report

Donald Trump could make a campaign stop in the Bronx neighborhood of New York City next year.

Trump attended the New York Young Republicans Club annual gala earlier this month, where he met NYYRC President Gavin Wax. According to Wax, he nearly convinced Trump to hold a rally in the South Bronx. While the state did not elect Trump in either the 2020 or the 2016 election, Wax told the New York Post that the 2024 presidential hopeful is looking to win over black and Latino voters.

“He said he liked the idea; he wants the club to lead it. I said we have a large Hispanic caucus and a large black caucus that could lead the way,” Wax told the outlet. “I thought he should just walk up and down the Grand Concourse and see what happens.”

The last time New York elected a Republican for president was in 1984, when Ronald Reagan was elected. New York elected Reagan for both of his presidential terms. Reagan also made a campaign stop in the Bronx ahead of his first win. At the time, he addressed the National Urban League Conference, which will host its annual conference in New Orleans in 2024.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who is in the middle of her third term and has won every election with over 70% of the vote.
