Trump Optimistic About Winning New York

Former President Donald Trump held a rally in Uniondale, New York, claiming he can win the state despite losing by 23 points in the 2016 and 2020 elections. Addressing an enthusiastic crowd at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Trump emphasized his intentions to lower taxes, reduce crime, and reinstate the SALT deduction cap, which was part of his 2017 tax cuts. The rally, covered by Newsmax and other outlets, was promoted as a critical move in Trump's campaign to flip traditionally Democratic New York. Although polling data suggests Vice President Kamala Harris is leading Trump by double digits in New York, Trump remains optimistic, citing recent Republican gains in the state. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized Trump's reversal on the SALT cap, highlighting its initial negative impact on blue states. Trump's campaign continues to focus on addressing crime, inflation, and other local issues to garner support in the state.
