Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, addressed a crowd of over 100,000 people at a New Jersey beach in Wildwood. He declared that the state, traditionally blue, is now in play to turn red in the upcoming November election.
Trump confidently stated that the Republican Party will expand its reach in the electoral map and assured the audience that they would win New Jersey. He criticized President Joe Biden’s performance, stating that he believes they will win all states and he would tell Biden, “You’re fired!”
Rep. Jeff Van Drew, who introduced Trump at the event, expressed his belief that Trump has a chance to win in New Jersey despite the state’s strong Democratic presence. He highlighted that a recent poll showed Trump trailing Biden by just 7 percentage points, a significant improvement from Biden’s 16-point victory in 2020.
In interviews with rally attendees, concerns were raised about issues such as border security, inflation, and the economy under Biden’s administration. Many expressed support for Trump’s stance on these issues and criticized Biden’s handling of them.
The rally also saw discussions about potential vice presidential candidates, with Sen. Tim Scott being a popular choice among attendees. Others mentioned Gov. Ron DeSantis, Gov. Kristi Noem, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy as their preferred candidates for vice president.
Trump’s visit to Wildwood was met with strong support from his followers, who praised his policies and criticized the legal challenges he faces. Despite the challenges, Trump and his supporters remain optimistic about their chances in the upcoming election.
Overall, the rally in Wildwood showcased the enthusiasm and determination of Trump supporters in New Jersey as they aim to flip the traditionally blue state to red in November.
