Trump’s support among black voters has more than doubled since the 2020 election nationwide. CNN polling averages from May 17 found that his support among black voters is at 22 percent so far in the 2024 election cycle, up from 9 percent at that point during the 2020 cycle.

Trump's Thursday night rally marked the first time since Ronald Reagan that a Republican presidential candidate campaigned in deep blue New York. Trump's campaign estimates that 25,000 people attended the Crotona Park rally.
