Trump to hold rally at Madison Square Garden this month
Former President Trump is scheduled to hold a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City later this month in the run-up to Election Day, a campaign official confirmed to The Hill.
The New York Post first reported that the event will take place Oct. 27, just more than a week before Election Day.
Trump had previously teased holding an event at the iconic Manhattan venue, and he has spoken bullishly about his chances in the deep-blue state in November.
It's extremely unlikely Trump will win the state, which hasn't backed a GOP presidential candidate since 1984 and which Trump lost by more than 20 percentage points each of his last two campaigns, but Republicans have suggested his appearances in New York could boost enthusiasm among his base and help the party keep control of its razor-thin House majority.
New York Republican Reps. Mike Lawler, Anthony D'Esposito, Marc Molinaro and Brandon Williams are all facing close reelection bids, and the outcome of their races could determine which party controls the House.
Trump has already held rallies this year in the Bronx and on Long Island. The former was held while he was on trial in a hush money case in Manhattan, and the latter was the day he was supposed to be sentenced after he was found guilty in that case.
