Despite\u2064 facing trial in Manhattan for hush-money payments, Trump garnered substantial support in this liberal stronghold.

During the rally, Trump was joined on stage at one point by rappers \u201cSheff G\u201d and \u201cSleepy Hallow,\u201d who both endorsed him, and some Bronx residents expressed their surprise that a presidential candidate would hold a rally in their neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>While describing the rally to CNN host Anderson Cooper, Holmes said Trump had attracted \u201ca bigger crowd than I think Democrats would like to see, particularly given this is one of the bluest counties in the entire country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Holmes added that Trump\u2019s event in the Bronx didn\u2019t just pull in people from miles away who travel to the former president\u2019s campaign rallies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the things that was interesting to me is that the Trump campaign said that they were going to micro-target to get people from the community to come to this rally. I wasn\u2019t sure what to expect, I\u2019ve gone to a lot of these rallies across the country, and there are often people who travel hundreds of miles to see Donald Trump and they\u2019re not necessarily part of the community. However, one of the things that I found was that there were a lot of people here that were actually from the Bronx,\u201d Holmes reported.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Even CNN is admitting President Trump\u2019s rally in the Bronx was a massive success:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCertainly a bigger crowd than I think Democrats would like to see, particularly given this is one of the bluest counties in the entire country!\u201d \ud83d\udd25 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XScfuQmnVa\">pic.twitter.com\/XScfuQmnVa<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TrumpWarRoom\/status\/1793800719415362030?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 24, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>One of the Democrats who could be concerned about the thousands of people gathering to hear Trump speak in the Bronx is Rep.
