If former President Donald Trump ends up winning the Republican nomination for president, he announced some major campaign plans upon winning.
His focus major campaign funds and time on battleground states such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona and Georgia. In a statement to Breitbart News, his strategy to win the election would be targeting these states with massive rallies and focused attention.
“One of the other things I’m going to do — and I may be foolish in doing it — is I’m going to make a heavy play for New York, heavy play for New Jersey, heavy play for Virginia, heavy play for New Mexico, and a heavy play for a state that hasn’t been won in years, Minnesota,” Trump said.
“I’m going to do rallies, I’m going to do speeches, I’m going to work them,” he said enthusiastically. “That doesn’t mean I’m going to work them as hard as I work Pennsylvania, where I’m doing very well,” and then took a quick jab at President Biden calling him “Mr. Scranton” in reference to how Biden constantly reminds people how as a child he lived in Pennsylvania.
“But we’re going to do these other states too, and it will be a heavy move,” Trump said elaborating on his campaign plans for the northeast. “I may rent Madison Square Garden and that’s the belly of the beast, right?” he said which is located in the middle of Democrat-run New York City.
“So, I believe we have a chance to win New York. I believe we have a chance to win New Jersey. If you look at Lee, he lost by a pretty close race,” he said, referring to former Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin who came very close to win the governorship in New York in 2022.
“But it’s 100 times worse now than it was two years ago. Now, you have people—you have migrants living on Madison Avenue. You can’t get into a hospital. You can’t get into a school. You go to a public school and half the kids are sitting there and have no idea what the teacher is saying. You can’t get into these schools. I think it’s really bad and I think the people in New York and New Jersey and a lot of these states are—it would have been semi-unthinkable but I think these are states that can be won,” Trump explained.
“It’s a different place from when I left,” he said. “I left New York 8 years ago. We had already suffered from de Blasio a little bit. But it hadn’t been long enough. He was a horrible mayor. He was the worst mayor in the history of New York. We were suffering from de Blasio a little bit but it was eight years ago when I left, and when I left it was the hottest thing. Now, you look at it and what they’ve done to that beautiful place is just horrible. So, I think I have a chance there. I will spend time that I would normally not be working on New York and New Jersey and other places.”
