Former President Donald Trump made the bold claim that he could win New York in November and flip a Democrat stronghold.
During a tele-rally Saturday night with House Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Trump made the bold claim that he could be the first Republican candidate to win New York since Ronald Reagan in 1984.
The virtual rally with Stefanik went out to nearly one million Trump supporters to push early voting and hopefully push Republican momentum in New York.
Trump has a growing support base in New York and is holding a massive rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City where thousands are expected to attend.
While New York is a Democrat state run be Democrats, many citizens are fed up and there is a growing movement for Trump that he is kindling.
Trump is leading Vice President Kamala Harris in all the major swing states and his momentum is growing so strong that his strategists are eying vulnerable blue states.
The vaunted "Blue Wall" has cracks in the foundation and Trump believes that New York, his home state, is one of those compromised links.
During his tele-rally with Stefanik, Trump stated, "We want to get everybody out [to vote] because we think we could actually win New York. We’re leading, as you know, in all the swing states, and I think we’re leading potentially very big. We set a record in early voting, and a lot of them were voters that don’t vote that much, which is pretty amazing."
Trump went on to discuss the significant policies that he could make for New York as President which will reverse a serious decline that has hit the Empire State.
Harris's support in New York has declined significantly compared to President Joe Biden's support in 2020. Biden won New York 76-23 in 2020 but Harris is down to 66% support.
While it is a long shot, it's not entirely out of the question that Trump could break a decades-long trend and win a key Democrat state.
Trump has an opportunity to do many historic things in this election. The momentum is firmly in his favor and if current polling is accurate, Trump is set to have a "Reaganesque" win in November.
Harris represents the stagnation and failure of the Biden presidency that has caused so much suffering and hardship for Americans.
Trump is promising a return to his first term which many Americans fondly remember as some of the best years of this century.
While the election is still likely to be deadly close, there is a lot of optimism around the Trump campaign which is in stark contrast to the doom and gloom plaguing the Harris campaign.
