NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump is returning to New York in the race’s final stretch, scheduling a rally at the city's iconic Madison Square Garden.
Trump is planning his event for Oct. 27 to kick off the final week of campaigning, according to a campaign official familiar with the plans who spoke on the condition of anonymity ahead of a formal announcement.
It will be Trump’s second rally in the city he grew up in following a May stop in the South Bronx that drew a large and diverse crowd. He held another on Long Island last month.
“We have some very big ones coming. We just rented Madison Square Garden. We’re going to make a play for New York,” Trump said at a rally Wednesday afternoon in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
