Trump’s rally in deep blue South Bronx drew crowd of 8,000 to 10,000: law enforcement sources
NY Post
Former President Donald Trump’s Bronx rally drew about 8,000 to 10,000 attendees, law enforcement sources told The Post on Friday.
The Thursday night rally was held in Crotona Park, which had a permit allowance of 3,500 people.
Thousands of Trump supporters were lined up by the security gates for hours hoping to catch a glimpse of the 45th president making his first New York City rally appearance since 2016.
Attendees were being let in to the event until the very last moments of Trump’s speech.
Trump national secretary Karoline Leavitt had claimed there were 25,000 people total in attendance, while another campaign staffer told The Post they would estimate around 10,000 people showed up.
It was difficult to gauge the crowd size, as what appeared to be thousands of people were being let in through security gates gradually.
