At a Sunday rally in New York's Madison Square Garden, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump focused his campaign message on immigration, pledging to "launch the largest deportation program in American history" if elected on November 5.
Trump described the need to "rescue every city and town" affected by illegal immigration and labeled Democratic opponent Kamala Harris a "very low IQ individual." His speech was met with enthusiastic support from the crowd, particularly around promises to eliminate sanctuary cities and invoke the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport immigrants with criminal records.
The event featured a diverse lineup of opening speakers, from former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani to former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan and Trump’s sons Eric and Don Jr. However, some speakers used divisive language, with Giuliani falsely accusing Harris of aligning with "terrorists" in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s crude jokes about Puerto Rico sparked backlash, with singer Ricky Martin sharing the remarks online and a Trump adviser clarifying they "do not reflect" campaign views.
Harris responded by visiting a Puerto Rican restaurant in Philadelphia, reaffirming her pledge to "invest in Puerto Rico's future," while Trump dismissed comparisons to divisive rallies, calling his event "Make America Great Again."
Elon Musk, who supports Trump’s reelection bid, made an appearance at the rally, joining in chants of "Elon" and proposing federal budget cuts. Trump highlighted his foreign policy achievements, stating he would avoid initiating conflicts but added that if tensions with China escalated, the U.S. would decisively prevail.
As Election Day nears, polls show Trump and Harris in a close race in key battleground states, with over 38 million votes already cast.
Trump has criticized Harris’s connection to the Biden administration, claiming, "She broke it, and I promise you I will fix it," as high living costs have left many voters uncertain about the economy.
Harris has rallied with high-profile figures like Bruce Springsteen and Beyoncé, drawing large crowds, and plans a speech on the National Mall to contrast her vision with Trump’s. "The momentum is with us," Harris said, affirming her confidence in the campaign’s progress.
