Former President Trump wants to flip the Garden State.
Over the weekend, Donald Trump hosted a rally with over 100,000 attendees in Wildwood, New Jersey as the presumptive nominee seeks to make inroads in the traditionally blue state.
On Saturday, Trump shared an image of the event:
It has been over three decades since a Republican carried New Jersey in a presidential election and Donald Trump is seeking to break that curse.
“We’re going to try and win the state of New Jersey. I want the people to know that I love it,” Trump predicted in a Friday morning local radio interview on New Jersey 105.1 in the Garden State. “You know, it’s not just going to be like, gee, maybe we can get close. We’re going to win it.”
Trump added that New Jersey “is supposed to be a Democrat state. I think it’s going to flip to Republican.”
