Republican presidential candidates have not won the state of New York in decades as Democrats solidified their hold on the state with supermajorities in the Assembly and other statewide elected offices.
But that isn’t going to deter one of the Empire State’s most famous former residents.
Former President Donald Trump said on Thursday he plans to make a push for New York with rallies planned for Madison Square Garden and in the Bronx, a portion of which is represented in Congress by far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D).
“The last time the Bronx was the center of a Republican presidential campaign was in 1984, when Ronald Reagan won by a landslide,” Breitbart News reported.
