This summer he campaigned in <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-bronx-rally-minority-voters-00fae754f78333111c508d6e740a3610\">the South Bronx<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>While some Democrats and TV pundits have questioned Trump\u2019s decision to hold what they dismiss as vanity events, the rally guarantees Trump what he most craves: the spotlight, wall-to-wall coverage and a national audience.<\/p>\n<p>Along with trying to energize his base, Trump\u2019s campaign has been trying to court the few remaining undecided voters, many of whom don\u2019t get their news from traditional outlets. <\/p>\n<p>To reach them, Trump has spent hours appearing on popular podcasts. And his campaign has worked to create viral moments like his visit last weekend to a McDonald\u2019s restaurant, where he made fries and served supporters through the drive-thru window. Video of the stop posted by his campaign has been viewed more than 40 million times on TikTok alone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s not just going to be speaking to the attendees inside Madison Square Garden. There will be people tuning in from battleground states all across the country,\u201d said former U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, a New York Republican and ally of the former president, who said Trump has been talking about holding an event at the venue since the start of his campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Harris has also traveled to non-battleground states for major events intended to drive a national message.

Madison Square Garden is part of his DNA,\u201d said New York State Republican Chairman Ed Cox.<\/p>\n<p>While Trump continues to insist the rally is part of his effort to win New York \u2014 a state President Joe Biden carried four years ago with more than 60% of the vote \u2014 he\u2019s made clear it\u2019s also personal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the New York, but it\u2019s also, you know, it\u2019s MSG, it\u2019s Madison Square Garden,\u201d Trump said during a recent radio interview. \u201cGuys like you and I, that means a lot, those words.

Kennedy Jr. held a birthday celebration at the stadium where Marilyn Monroe famously sang \u201cHappy Birthday to You, Mr. President.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But if there\u2019s one bit of Garden history Trump might want to replicate, it\u2019s when Grover Cleveland accepted his party\u2019s nomination in 1892, three years after leaving the White House. He went on to win the election, becoming the first and only president to serve two non-consecutive terms.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Infobox\" data-module=\"\" data-gtm-region=\"What to know about the 2024 Election Today's news: Follow live updates from the campaign trail from the AP.

That underscored, he said, the importance of the top of the ticket doing as well as possible. He said the Garden event is sure to be featured on newscasts in areas with high-stakes races like suburban Long Island, where Trump held a packed, raucous rally last month.<\/p>\n<p>Trump will also use the stop as a major fundraising opportunity as he continues to seriously lag Harris in the money race.<\/p>\n<h2>A native returns to the city that made him and convicted him<\/h2>\n<p>New York has not voted for a Republican for president in 40 years. But that hasn\u2019t stopped Trump from continuing to insist he believes he can win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think there\u2019s a chance,\u201d he said on \u201cThe Brian Kilmeade Show\u201d earlier this week, pointing to frustrations over an influx of migrants to the city and concerns over crime.<\/p>\n<p>Trump routinely uses his hometown as a foil before audiences in other states, painting a dark vision of the city that bears little resemblance to reality. He\u2019s cast it as crime-ridden and overrun by violent, immigrant gangs who have taken over Fifth and Madison avenues and occupied Times Square.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has a complicated history with the place where he built his business empire and that made him a tabloid and reality TV star. Its residents indicted him last year on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. He was found guilty in that case, and also found liable in civil court for business fraud and sexual abuse.<\/p>\n<h2>___<\/h2>\n<p>Associated Press writer Michelle L.
