Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) bemoaned former President Donald Trump's effort to campaign in her New York City district on Thursday.
Trump will hold the rally later Thursday, but Ocasio-Cortez suggested the crowd will be full of out-of-state supporters, as her district, which includes part of the Bronx, is not the “friendliest” to Trump out of all the city’s five boroughs. She recommended that the presidential candidate hold a rally in a friendlier borough during an interview on local news outlet Spectrum News.
New York did not vote for Trump in either the 2020 or 2016 elections. The last time the state elected a Republican for president was in 1984, when Ronald Reagan won the White House for the second time. Reagan also made a campaign stop in the Bronx ahead of his first New York win in 1980. At the time, he addressed the National Urban League Conference, which will host its annual conference in New Orleans in 2024.
