Trump is again insisting that he can win the state of New York, a Democratic stronghold, as he held a rally in Uniondale on New York's Long Island. He ripped into Democratic leadership in New York City and the state, blaming them for homeless people living in what he called “horrible, disgusting, dangerous, filthy encampments.” “What the hell do you have to lose?" he said in asking for their votes. Trump lost New York to Democrat Joe Biden by more than 20 points in 2020. Trump also said he plans in the next two weeks to visit Springfield, Ohio, that’s been the center of false accusations from the former president and his running mate, JD Vance, that members of the city’s Haitian community are abducting and eating cats and dogs. Trump also said he plans to visit Aurora, Colorado, where he says a Venezuelan street gang with a small presence in the city has taken over a rundown apartment complex. Aurora police say that’s not the case.
