Former President Donald Trump has doubled down on his prediction of winning a historically blue state in a video he posted to his Truth Social platform on Tuesday.
Trump, who was born in Queens, New York, says he will win his birth state, though for now, polling suggests otherwise.
“I believe that with your support, we can win the state of New York and I’m looking to win it as your presidential nominee. We are going to win New York – remember those words. I hope I’m gonna be correct. If I am, the election is over,” he said. ‘
“There’s tremendous discontent in New York with hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants taking over your schools and your playgrounds, and the crime that’s happening in the city of New York and the state of New York. The lack of supervision, the lack of control, the lack of leadership, terrible things are happening in New York. I think we can win it,” he added.
