The Spin

Republican narrative

Trump's ability to pack Madison Square Garden shows his enduring popularity and the strength of his political movement. The diverse lineup of high-profile supporters, from tech icons to political figures, showcased the broad appeal of his campaign. This rally in a traditionally blue state signals Trump's confidence in expanding his electoral map.

Democratic narrative

Trump utilized the well-attended rally to denounce his political rivals, assail immigrants, and spew racist attacks at Harris. Sunday's rally was reminiscent of a rally in 1939 when a pro-Hitler organization filled the stadium with Nazi sympathizers in an event labeled as a "Pro-American Rally." History may mark Trump's rally as similar to that one.
