In what could be referred to as the last fight for the race, Donald Trump will kick off the final full week of the presidential race on Sunday. The last run will start at Madison Square Garden. The former president, who intends showmanship, will seek to occupy the entire iconic venue and create a spectacle that will reach television and phone screens in all seven battleground states.
The former president is returning to his hometown of New York City’s deep-blue turf, which virtually no Republicans expect to win, but where signs of discontent and state and local Democratic leadership struggles could help endangered GOP incumbents hold House seats in the surrounding suburbs.
The former president, before the visit to Madison Square Garden he and his team had earlier visited and held ralies in California’s Coachella Valley earlier in the month. The rallies were held one on Long Island in the summer, while the other was held at an economic forum in Chicago.
The former president of each of the states has continued to condemn the growing numbers of immigrants in the country in dehumanizing terms. He blamed the growing numbers on his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.
The presidential candidate has stated that he plans to rescue every town that has been taken over and conquered by the immigrants.
In the past years, Madison Square Garden hosted notable campaigns in the build to the elections in the nation. Some of the events hosted at the venue include Grover Cleveland, Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt, and has welcomed both Republican and Democratic national conventions. One of the most recent includes the GOP confab in 2004. In 1962, the venue was used for the birthday celebration of John F. Kennedy. The event was greeted with the performance of Marilyn Monroe’s iconic serenade for the president.
The garden, too, has been greeted with events that have ended in controversy. It played host to the notorious “Pro-American Rally” of 1939, a pro-Nazi gathering organized by the German American Bund and attended by thousands in the lead-up to World War II. After the event, which went into much controversy, the garden also hosted a Communist Party rally. In 1968, George Wallace, the onetime segregationist governor of Alabama, pushed a law-and-order message in a speech at the Garden days before the presidential election, where he won nearly 10 million votes and carried five states as a third-party candidate.
Donald Trump has seen the Sunday event as a time to be above having time to campaign for the election but also a personal moment for him and the people of the state. The former president had always spoken of his desire to speak using the centre stage at the Midtown Manhattan landmark.

Ronald Reagan, in 1984, was the last Republican presidential nominee to carry the Empire State.
Two decades ago, the Republican won a statewide election in New York – the most recent being former Gov. George Pataki when he won a third term in 2002.
With the extended time taken for them to win the election, the Republicans have continued to state that there was hope that the event when the event is held could help vulnerable New York GOP lawmakers vying to hold on to their House seats come November.
