Enthusiastic Bronx residents ready to welcome Trump for first NYC campaign rally in 8 years: ‘I really hope he wins’
NY Post
Former President Donald Trump’s planned Thursday evening rally in the Bronx is generating excitement and anticipation in the traditionally blue NYC borough.
The Post took to the streets Tuesday to get reactions to the 45th president’s first major campaign event in his birth state for eight years — and to see what kind of traction the Republican’s message might get in a borough that hasn’t gone for the GOP in 100 years.
Joe Randazzo, owner of Randazzo’s Seafood on Arthur Avenue, said President Biden had ushered in a wave of high inflation and violent crime.
“We had a group of some gang members from Venezuela, who met up with each other and they started shooting at each other on the street at 9:30 in the morning,” Randazzo, 70, told The Post.
The seafood monger added that he was emphatically behind Trump and that he planned to attend Thursday’s scheduled Crotona Park rally if his schedule allowed.
“Everybody was working, the prices were lower and the economy was great,” Randazzo said of the Trump administration, before addressing the possibility of voting for Biden: “Not on my deathbed.”
