She recommended that the presidential candidate hold a rally in a friendlier borough during an interview on local news outlet Spectrum News.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an attempt to, I think, trick some of our folks here, but I think the Bronx knows better,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez said. \u201cWhat we see here is that former President Trump has been in court, he has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/immigrant-business-owner-who-fled-communism-jailed-for-staying-open-supporters-back-her-with-gofundme\/\" title=\"Immigrant Business Owner Who Fled Communism Jailed For Staying Open, Supporters Back Her With GoFundMe\">mounting legal fees<\/a>. And this is, a lot of this was about covering the increasingly precarious financial situation that he\u2019s in. \u2026 I think it\u2019s important that we understand that there\u2019s, you know, there\u2019s a lot of folks that may be at this park that are not from New York City, that may be from surrounding or different areas, and we just want to make sure that folks are staying safe given all of that ruckus that can come in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New York did not vote for\u00a0Trump\u00a0in 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-call-double-standard-on-greenes-committee-removals-point-to-omar-remarks\/\" title=\"Republicans Call Double Standard on Greene\u2019s Committee Removals, Point to Omar Remarks\">campaign stop<\/a> in the\u00a0Bronx\u00a0ahead 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.<\/p>\n<p>A Republican city council member won a seat for the first time in 50 years. However, Ocasio-Cortez is in the middle of her third term and has won every election with over 70% of the vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we\u2019re holding a rally in the Bronx, and there are folks from different states that are traveling in, which tends to be common with the Trump campaign, then I think it kind of shows that he kind of has to travel around with folks instead of going into communities and actually building authentic support,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez said. \u201cThis is like essentially, I think, it\u2019s a GoFundMe for legal funds that we\u2019ve got happening here in the city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trump\u00a0is a New York native and partially financed the\u00a0Trump\u00a0Tower,\u00a0the Trump\u00a0International Hotel, the Central Park skating rink, and the Plaza Hotel.<\/p>\n<p>The former president has maintained a massive lead in the polls and secured the GOP presidential nomination despite the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/donald-trump-indicted-pleads-not-guilty-third-time-this-year\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>various indictments<\/a> against him.
