Elon Musk and UFC CEO Dana White are set to join former President Donald Trump at a major rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The event is expected to be a huge gathering of Trump supporters, with the campaign describing it as a showcase of the “historic political movement” Trump has built. The rally comes as the former president makes a push to gain traction in deep-blue states like New York and New Jersey ahead of the 2024 election.
The rally will feature a mix of political figures, celebrities, and artists supporting Trump’s re-election bid. Among the notable attendees are political commentator Tucker Carlson, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and former Democratic presidential candidate-turned-Republican Tulsi Gabbard. High-profile Republicans like vice-presidential candidate JD Vance and Speaker Mike Johnson are also expected to make appearances, highlighting the broad coalition Trump aims to build.
Musk has already hit the campaign trail for Trump, giving a notable speech earlier this month in Pennsylvania at the same site where Trump survived an assassination attempt in July. Meanwhile, Dana White, a long-time Trump ally, has also been actively supporting the former president and introduced him at the 2024 Republican National Convention, stressing the high stakes of this election.
Trump’s campaign is aiming to gain support in states that traditionally lean Democratic, including New York, where he has previously drawn large crowds. The rally at Madison Square Garden, with a seating capacity of 19,500, comes after Trump held rallies in the Bronx and Long Island, drawing tens of thousands of supporters. This latest event at MSG underscores Trump’s push to build momentum in his home state as the election approaches.
