Former President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in The Bronx, aiming to attract minority voters before his criminal hush money trial verdict.

The rally, held in Crotona Park, marked Trump's first public event in New York and targeted black and Hispanic voters by focusing on economic and immigration issues.

Trump's campaign believes he can challenge President Joe Biden's support among minority voters despite facing felony charges.

Notable figures such as rapper Sheff G, Andrew Giuliani, and Joe Borelli attended the rally, with former Councilman Ruben Diaz, Sr. leading pro-Trump chants.

Campaign volunteers set up voter registration tables and displayed a 'TRUMP 2024' flag.

Protests outside the rally underscored the ongoing battle for support among Black and Hispanic voters, with counterprotesters labeling Trump as 'radioactive'.

The rally is seen as a strategic move by Trump's campaign to reach out to minority communities and potentially impact the upcoming election.
