Donald Trump, the former president, rallied in the South Bronx Thursday night, bringing thousands of supporters and detractors to Crotona Park.
Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee who is currently on trial in New York on fraud charges for an alleged hush money scheme, railed against Democrats and the media while vowing to flip New York red in the upcoming presidential election. New York has not voted Republican in a presidential race since Ronald Reagan’s 1984 49-state landslide, and Trump’s rally took place in the heart of a solidly blue Bronx district.
