In a bold political move, former President Donald Trump has announced plans to host a campaign rally in the Bronx, aiming to turn the traditionally Democratic stronghold red. The rally, scheduled for Thursday at Crotona Park, comes on the heels of a record-breaking Trump event in New Jersey that drew up to 100,000 supporters.

Ahead of Trump's visit, "Fox & Friends Weekend" co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy interviewed South Bronx residents to gauge their sentiments towards the former president and his potential impact on the community. Many expressed frustration with the state of the nation under President Biden's leadership and saw Trump as a viable alternative.

Residents highlighted Trump's respect for the Bronx, despite it being a Democratic stronghold. They praised his concern for the "little man" and his willingness to address pressing issues such as public safety and economic struggles. Reverend Ruben Diaz Sr., president of New York's Hispanic Clergy Association, voiced his disappointment with the current situation, saying, "Senior citizens cannot walk down the street. Our children are being killed."

One resident, who identified as a Democrat, admitted to not voting for Democratic candidates since Ronald Reagan and urged Republicans to recognize that not all registered Democrats support the party. Another resident emphasized the need for assistance within the community, calling on the government to prioritize American citizens over migrants. They anticipated a warm welcome for Trump, noting that "everyone needs help."

While opinions on Trump's visit may be mixed, one resident acknowledged the positive changes the Bronx experienced prior to the current state of affairs, suggesting that Trump could offer viable solutions. Another resident urged Trump to outline his plans for all Americans, emphasizing the importance of collective success.

The Trump campaign has secured a permit for the event, which will accommodate up to 3,500 attendees at Crotona Park. The park's proximity to Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's district adds another layer of political significance to the rally.

Trump's visit to the Bronx signals a strategic effort to expand his influence and support base beyond his traditional voter demographic. By targeting Democratic strongholds and presenting himself as an alternative to President Biden's leadership, Trump aims to rally support and potentially sway voters towards the Republican party.

As November approaches, the Bronx becomes a focal point in the battle for political dominance in the Empire State. Trump's campaign is determined to shake up the political landscape by flipping traditionally Democratic regions red. The impact of his Bronx rally remains to be seen, but it is clear that Republicans view this as a significant opportunity to make an impression and challenge the status quo.
