Why is former President Trump holding a rally in blue state New York with less than 50 days until the November election with Vice President Kamala Harris?
UNIONDALE, NEW YORK - It's been 40 years since a Republican nominee has carried New York state in a presidential election. You have to go back to President Ronald Reagan, who won the state as part of his landslide re-election victory in 1984. But that's not stopping former President Trump from holding a rally Wednesday in his native state, which he has no serious chance of carrying in his election faceoff with Vice President Kamala Harris.
And it's Trump's second large campaign event this year, after drawing a large crowd in the New York City borough of the Bronx in May. While there was some chatter of New York potentially being in play as President Biden's poll numbers started cratering following his disastrous late June debate performance against Trump, the conversation was fleeting and quickly dissipated when Harris replaced Biden atop the Democrats' 2024 ticket.
So why – with less than 50 days to go until Election Day and time becoming a very precious commodity – is Trump holding a campaign rally just outside of New York City? 'Quite clearly, New York is the biggest media hub in the country,' Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh told Fox News. Murtaugh emphasized that 'when he delivers a message there, it’s piped directly into homes in every market in every battleground state. The most valuable commodity we have is President Trump’s time.
