Trump’s NYC rally at Madison Square Garden sells out in just 3 hours: report

Speaking with Breitbart's Matthew Boyle on Saturday, Trump expressed excitement about the event, set for next Sunday, October 27, at 5:00 pm Eastern time.

“We sold it out in less than three hours. But people are going to come anyway. We have big screens outside. It’s going to be unbelievable. So come anyway. I mean, come, maybe you get in, I don’t know, but it sold out very quickly,” Trump told Boyle. “It’s fantastic. It’s going to be fantastic.”

In a post on his campaign’s website, the Trump team highlighted the economic struggles facing New Yorkers under Democratic leadership, including Vice President Kamala Harris and New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

“Since Kamala took office, the average New York household has been forced to spend an additional $28,537, including $4,282 more on food, $4,918 more on shelter, $3,992 more on energy, and $8,912 more on transportation,” the campaign stated. “These disastrous economic policies are draining the bank accounts of hardworking New Yorkers.”

While the campaign stop is unlikely to change New York’s electoral college odds of voting overwhelmingly in favor of the Democratic Party, the rally at the iconic venue of Madison Square Garden holds symbolic importance, coming just one week before Election Day. Trump’s senior advisor, Jason Miller, described the event as a formal "closing argument" for the campaign.

“The Madison Square Garden event that we have a week from tomorrow will be the formal introduction of the closing debate that we’re gonna have here, the closing framing of this race, the choice between the two candidates,” Miller told reporters at a Trump rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, last weekend, according to CNN.
