29 october 2024 в 00:13
Madison Square Garden, commonly known as «The Garden», - is the host of various events, including professional basketball (home arena of the New York Knicks), hockey (home arena of the New York Rangers), concerts, boxing matches, and other major sporting events.
However, on Sunday, the iconic venue hosted a final rally for former President Donald Trump, just a week before the election day. Since its opening in February 1968, the current version of MSG has hosted the Democratic National Convention three times — in 1976, 1980, and 1992, as well as the Republican National Convention once in 2004.
Depending on the event, Madison Square Garden can accommodate different numbers of people. Around 19,000 people can fit in for basketball games, and approximately 18,000 for hockey games.
The exact number of attendees at Trump’s rally on Sunday is unknown, but according to Reuters, Trump’s campaign stated that the event at the 19,500-seat arena was sold out. Tickets were free and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Democratic candidate Kamala Harris held a rally with Beyoncé on Friday in Houston, which drew around 30,000 people.
On stage with his vice-presidential candidate, Senator Jay D. VanSom (R-Ohio), Trump was joined by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, tech billionaire Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Hulk Hogan, and Rudy Giuliani, among others.
Former First Lady Melania Trump also made a rare appearance on the campaign trail, delivering a brief speech and introducing her husband.
Additionally, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe was spotted at the rally, making a joke comparing Puerto Rico to a «floating island of garbage».
As of October 27, the daily election tracker from FiveThirtyEight shows that Harris is leading nationally by a slight margin of 1.4 percentage points over Trump, which is less than the 1.8 points from last week.
Trump and Harris are in a close race in seven key battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. On Monday, Harris is holding a rally with her vice-presidential candidate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Meanwhile, Trump is holding a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, with VanSom
