Donald Trump peddled lies and criticized Vice President Kamala Harris during a campaign rally at Madison Square Gardens on Sunday.

The crowd of several hundred people, which filled the streets of New York before the rally, erupted when the president took the stage and spoke in the deep blue city. Despite the political bias, the MAGA crowd made its presence known in Midtown.
I will end inflation. I will stop the invasion of criminals in our country. And I will bring back the American dream, we need the American dream to come back home, Trump said.
Trump's Manhattan rally comes as Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, announced a swing state blitz in the final days before Election Day. Harris spent Sunday visiting several locations in the Philadelphia area. The vice president and Walz are expected to travel to Wisconsin and Michigan on Monday.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who just received a judge's order to divest his assets to the Georgia election officials he defamed, took the stage at Madison Square Garden for Donald Trump's rally on Sunday .
It started with Pope John Paul II calling New York City great.
Within a minute of taking the stage, he was making references to 9/11 and the New York Yankees.
Giuliani missed a reference to East Palestine, Ohio, calling it New Palestine and referred to a subway derailment. East Palestine was the victim of a Norfolk Southern train carrying toxic chemicals that derailed and polluted the city. There is no metro system in East Palestine.
The former mayor then brought up 9/11 again and compared it to the October 7 Hamas attack in Israel. He said he was on Israel's side and claimed that Palestinians are taught from the age of 2 to kill Americans.
At one point, Giuliani said I won't do a conspiracy, but I won't do a conspiracy, after which he immediately advanced the baseless conspiracy theory that Democrats were behind the attempted assassination of Trump, saying they better not do it again.
