Donald Trump holds a rally at Madison Square Garden New York City, New York - October 27, 2024

Former President Donald Trump is set to host a hometown rally at Madison Square Garden Sunday, just nine days before Election Day.
"Madison Square Garden is the center of the universe," Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller said, noting the venue's storied history of hosting events including the 1971 "Fight of the Century."
The rally is one of a series of detours Trump has made from battleground states, including a recent rally in Coachella, California, and one over the summer on the Jersey Shore. This summer he campaigned in the South Bronx.
Trump has insisted the MSG rally is part of a bigger effort to win New York — a state President Joe Biden carried four years ago with more than 60% of the vote — but he's also made clear that the rally is personal.
"It’s the New York, but it’s also, you know, it’s MSG, it’s Madison Square Garden," Trump said during a recent radio interview. "Guys like you and I, that means a lot, those words. Madison Square Garden, right? Don’t you think so? ... It’s a very big stop."
