Former President Donald Trump is working on expanding his voter base and it is becoming dangerous for President Joe Biden.

Coming off a strong showing at a rally in Wildwood NJ, the former president has planned a rally on May 23 at Crotona Park in the South Bronx, NY as the president is bleeding support from black voters, young voters and female voters.

“President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will visit the Bronx, New York on Thursday, May 23, 2024, at 6:00PM EDT to highlight the horrendous effects Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous presidency has had on our economy,” the Trump campaign said in a press release.

“New Yorkers have suffered greatly thanks to Biden’s failed policies. With prices in the Empire State up by 17.5 percent since Biden took office, New York families continue to suffer from high inflation on everyday goods. In fact, New Yorkers have spent $7,747 more on transportation, $3,542 more on energy, $3,637 more on food, and $3,921 more on shelter on average since January 2021 due to Bidenflation,” it said.

“Both New York City and the state at large have been ravaged by monumental surges in violent crime as a direct result of Biden’s and Democrats’ pro-criminal policies. Murders in New York City are up 23.1 percent from 2019 levels, while felony assault is up 35.4 percent. These upticks are incomprehensible and devastating,” the press release said.

“The Empire State, a place near to President Trump’s heart, has been decimated by Biden. President Trump will ease the financial pressures placed on households and re-establish law and order in New York! We can Make America Great Again by tackling lawlessness head-on, ceasing the endless flow of illegal immigrants across our southern border, and reversing the detrimental effects of inflation by restoring people’s wealth,” it said.

Videos have been shared on X, formerly Twitter, showed support, including a march by South Brox residents, for the former president.

Trump and his campaign have said they will be making a play for traditional blue states this election cycle, claims which were bolstered after a stunning turnout of supporters in deep-blue New Jersey for a rally last week. Trump drew nearly 100,000 supporters in Wildwood, a popular vacation spot for residents of Philadelphia and Delaware County, Pennsylvania.

Many supporters were seen queuing up hours before Trump’s arrival for the rally, which occurred close to the Wildwood boardwalk.

Trump had previously hinted at holding rallies in New Jersey. Despite being traditionally considered a solid blue state, New Jersey witnessed one of the most surprisingly close gubernatorial election races in 2021. Democrat incumbent Phil Murphy narrowly defeated Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli by less than three percentage points. That outcome was unexpected, especially since most pollsters projected a Democratic advantage of around ten points (D+10), providing Republicans with a renewed sense of optimism.

Breitbart News reported in April that a poll found Trump within single digits of Biden in New Jersey. Biden received 46 percent while Trump got 39 percent, a 7-point lead for the president in a state he won in 2020 by 16 points.

NFL defensive great and lifelong Democrat Lawrence Taylor joined former President Trump at the massive rally in New Jersey on Saturday and declared that the current likely 2024 GOP nominee changed his political views.

“I grew up a Democrat, and I’ve always been a Democrat until I met this man right here,” Taylor told the rally as he stood next to Trump on stage, declaring that neither he nor his family would ever again vote for Democrats.
