With just days left until the 2024 presidential election, former President Donald Trump wrapped up a key rally at Madison Square Garden in New York, focusing on immigration and economic promises.
At the rally over the weekend, he vowed to implement mass deportations on his first day in office, calling the current situation an “immigrant invasion,” CNN reported.
The rally featured appearances from high-profile figures like Elon Musk, Dana White, and Trump’s VP pick JD Vance.
The event marked the final stretch of Trump’s campaign, aiming to galvanize his base.
Trump’s speech combined aggressive anti-immigrant talk with economic appeals, saying he would end inflation and revive the American dream if elected.
“Are you better off now than you were four years ago?” Trump asked the crowd, promising a tax credit for caregivers and attacking Harris’s economic policies.
The rally showcased the intense polarization surrounding the 2024 election.
Democrats are framing Trump as an existential threat to democracy, warning of his authoritarian tendencies. Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, plans to counter his closing message with a symbolic rally in Washington, D.C., on the Ellipse — the site of the January 6, 2021, attack.
Her campaign emphasizes the election’s stakes, focusing on preserving democratic norms.
Polls show a razor-tight tight race, with neither candidate holding a significant lead.
The outcome may hinge on swing states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia, where early voting is already underway.
Harris has focused on rallying key demographics, including Black voters and women, with recent campaign stops highlighting reproductive rights and economic reforms.
The campaign’s final days underscore the high stakes and deep divides shaping the election. Trump and Harris are making their last appeals, each presenting vastly different visions for America’s future.
