Trump advisor explains the reason behind the former president's rally in a deep-blue state prior to the election.
Only 49 days remain until Election Day on Nov 5.
In 40 years, no Republican presidential candidate has won New York state.
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan won the state as part of his landslide re-election victory.
Despite having no serious chance of winning in his election against Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Trump is still holding a rally in his native state on Wednesday.
In the blue state of New York, a longtime Republican stronghold in Nassau County, Trump held a rally in Uniondale, Long Island.
In May, Trump held a large campaign event in the New York City borough of the Bronx, and his second such event this year took place.
As President Biden's poll numbers plummeted after his poor debate performance in late June, there were rumors of New York being a potential contender for the 2024 Democratic ticket. However, these discussions were brief and faded away when Harris was named as Biden's replacement on the ticket.
What is the reason for Trump's campaign rally being held just outside of New York City with only 49 days left until Election Day?
According to Tim Murtaugh, spokesperson for the Trump campaign, New York is undeniably the largest media center in the United States, as stated on Planet Chronicle.
Murtaugh highlighted that the message delivered during the event is directly piped into homes in every battleground state market. The most valuable asset we possess is President Trump's time, and this event is utilizing it efficiently.
The rally is Trump's first since the second failed assassination attempt against him on the weekend.
A large number of individuals waited for hours before the rally to demonstrate their backing for the former president.
Although it is highly unlikely that Trump will win New York in the presidential race, the rally could aid Republicans in maintaining their House of Representatives majority in the upcoming November elections.
In New York state, several GOP-held House seats are at risk this year, including the seat of Rep. Anthony D’Esposito from Long Island.
