Trump is going from court to campaign in his heavily Democratic hometown.

Before heading to the East Side in New York, former President Donald Trump stopped by a bodega where a murder had recently occurred, marking a sharp turn for him. Blaming Biden for crime, Trump tried to draw attention to the fact that he is being prosecuted for a criminal case by default, and instead talked about the crime rate in New York.

This visit marked Trump's first event since the start of his criminal trial, making him the first former president in U.S. history to stand trial. On most days, Trump will be in the courtroom, which significantly limits his ability to campaign and fundraise, unlike Biden, who was campaigning in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state.

Although overall crime rates have dropped nationally and in New York City, Trump insists the city has been victimized by crime and migrants, exaggerating the situation. He promises to make a serious attempt to win in his home state, even though it is dominated by the Democratic Party.

where an attack on a worker ended in murder.

Trump plans to campaign in New York, despite the Democratic majority. He claims he will be able to win in New York in November and even plans to hold rallies in the South Bronx, Queens, and even in the Madison Square area.

Trump believes the flood of migrants coming into the city makes residents more likely to vote for him, even though New York has always been Democratic. By capitalizing on worsening housing problems and strains on city resources, Trump hopes to gain the support of voters who have changed their attitudes toward him.
