Donald Trump’s loyal fanbase took over the streets of Midtown Manhattan on Sunday as they lined up for his star-studded Madison Square Garden rally.

A sea of red hats, bedazzled MAGA jackets, Trump “never surrender” t-shirts and more were unavoidable from 32nd Street up to 35th Street as supporters unapologetically showed their love for the former president.

Trump, and 29 of his allies, held a rally at the historic arena just days ahead of the presidential election.

Even in New York City, a Democratic stronghold that Trump has virtually no chance of winning, the former president’s influence inspired thousands to take to the streets.
