New York – former President Donald Trump held a rally in the South Bronx on Thursday he’s trying to connect with Black and Hispanic voters who could propel him to the top in this fall’s election against President Joe Biden. Although Trump lost the Bronx by 68 points and New York state by 23 points in 2020, the rally served as a symbolic event to demonstrate small but potentially significant shifts in the demographic makeup of his MAGA coalition.
Far from one of his larger rallies, his address drew one of the most diverse crowds of his political career as he spoke at length about his longtime hometown during a break from an ongoing criminal trial in Manhattan.
