Former President Donald Trump held a massive rally at New York City's Madison Square Garden on Sunday night, drawing thousands of supporters who filled the venue to capacity. The event featured appearances by Elon Musk, Hulk Hogan, and Melania Trump. Trump began his speech by asking the crowd, 'I would like to start with a very simple question: are you living better now than you did four years ago?' The rally continued late into the night and included contentious remarks by some of his allies, including a speaker who attacked Puerto Rico, leading to backlash from Democrats and the Harris campaign. Former Rep. Pete King commented on Newsmax that Trump, 'who has done as much to make New York what it is and its greatness as anyone,' and his massive rally belong at Madison Square Garden.
