NEW YORK — Former President Donald Trump held a rally in the South Bronx on Thursday to reach Black and Hispanic voters who could put him over the top in this fall’s election against President Joe Biden. Although Trump lost the Bronx by 68 points — and New York state by 23 points — in 2020, the rally served as a symbolic event to highlight the small but potentially significant shifts in the demographic makeup of his MAGA coalition.
Though far from one of his larger rallies, his speech drew one of the more diverse crowds of his political career as he spoke at length about his old hometown during a break in his ongoing criminal hush-money trial in Manhattan.
