Trump prepares for an outburst at Madison Square Garden

Former President Trump is gearing up for an outburst at Madison Square Garden on Sunday as the Republican candidate delivers his “closing argument” to local voters in the 2024 presidential election.

Doors open at noon and programming is expected to begin at 2:30 p.m. Trump is not expected to take the stage before 5 p.m. Guests include Elon Musk, Dana White, Tucker Carlson and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

While Trump has already survived two murder attemptsRoad closures and tight security are expected in and around the world’s most famous arena, which has a capacity of almost 20,000 people.

Trump has promised to win New York, a feat that no Republican has accomplished since Ronald Reagan’s landslide victory over Walter Mondale in 1984.

While Trump has made gains across the board among demographic groups, most insiders continue to believe the possibility of an Empire State upset is remote.

“Throughout the campaign cycle, President Trump has used unique backdrops to deliver his winning message to voters – whether it was a visit to union workers in New York City, a stop at a Bodega in Harlem or a rally in the Bronx.

“To deliver his closing argument, President Trump will pack Madison Square Garden and once again highlight the issues facing our nation,” a Trump campaign insider said.

The event also serves as a fundraiser for Trump, an area where the former president has consistently lagged behind Vice President Harris.

Full access backstage passes cost a whopping $924,600, according to Politico. Trump’s message will focus on the theme of how Harris “broke” the United States and that he is the man to “fix” it.

Members of Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, N.J., have been promised “luxury private suites” and shuttle service to the Garden on a first-come, first-served basis, according to one member.

House Speaker Mike Johnson will join Trump in the Garden, as will state Rep. Elise Stefanik, chair of the House Republican Conference, and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La. ).
