Donald Trump is set to hold a rally in the Bronx, one of the most heavily Democratic counties in the country, in an attempt to sway undecided voters and criticize Bidenomics. The rally is strategically planned in New York, where Trump's team believes they can make inroads, especially with minority voters.

Despite Trump's claims that New York State is in play, historical data suggests otherwise. In the 2020 election, Bronx County heavily favored Biden, with 83.4% of the vote compared to Trump's 15.9%. This indicates a significant challenge for Trump to win over the county.

While there has been some polling showing movement towards Trump among minority voters, the sentiment in the Bronx is mixed. Some residents have expressed opposition to Trump's presence in the area, with one individual driving by and vocalizing their disapproval.

However, there are also supporters lining up to attend Trump's rally, indicating a level of interest and engagement with his campaign. Trump's team had initially planned the rally around his court schedule, but a change in court proceedings allowed for the event to take place on a Thursday evening.

Overall, Trump's rally in the Bronx reflects his campaign's efforts to target key demographics and regions, despite facing significant challenges in a traditionally Democratic stronghold.
