Former President Donald Trump held a rally in the Bronx, New York, where an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 people showed up to show their support.

Reportedly, 3,500 people were allowed inside Crotona Park on Thursday, while the rest watched from outside the gates.

Thousands of Trump supporters waited in line outside security gates for hours to catch a glimpse of the 45-year-old president.^Number The president appeared at a rally in New York City for the first time since 2016.

By the time Trump finished speaking, hundreds, maybe thousands, of people were trying to squeeze into the venue, and thousands were being ushered through security gates one by one, making it difficult to estimate the exact number of attendees.

But Trump adviser Chris LaCivita said 20,000 people were registered to attend the rally.

Trump campaign manager Daniel Alvarez said that while the turnout was smaller than Trump’s rally two weeks ago in Wildwood, New Jersey, the rally was intended to show the former president “is not afraid” to show up in a traditionally Democratic district.

Additionally, recent events have given Trump a chance to engage with black and Hispanic voters in New York, with polls showing the former president is winning them over to his cause in historically high numbers compared to past Republican presidents.

Concluding his speech, Trump said the rally had been a “festival of love.”

“I said, ‘Is it going to be hostile or is it going to be friendly?'” Trump said. “It was much more than friendly. It was a love fest.”
