Trump Says He Will ‘Make a Play’ to Win New York in 2024 While He’s on Trial

Former President Donald Trump predicted Thursday he might be able to win New York state in the 2024 election, saying the campaign will “make a play” to the typically blue state.

The former president has mostly remained in New York, his home state, for more than a week while he has to make mandatory court appearances in his so-called “hush-money” trial in Manhattan.

“Traditionally, a Democrat would win New York, but we’ve seen some new polls and I think we’re gonna do very well in New York,” President Trump told reporters on Thursday morning at a campaign stop at a Manhattan construction site, adding that other polls suggest he is leading in “every swing state.” A crowd of union workers chanted “four more years” along with the former president’s name, according to on-site reporters.

“It’s an amazing show of affection,” President Trump said at around 6:30 a.m., or three hours before Thursday’s trial is slated to start. “The Teamsters union loves me. We’ve built a lot of great buildings with the Teamsters. They’re very, very talented people. We used to do three floors a week in concrete on these buildings, and that’s because of these guys here.”
