Following former President Donald Trump‘s recent rally in New York City, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, said she wants to invest in the Democratic stronghold city on Saturday.
New York City has a long-standing history as a Democratic stronghold, as the Democratic Party has historically dominated the city’s politics. Trump, the presumptive nominee for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination, recently held a rally in the deep-blue Bronx borough of New York City on Thursday.

America First projects such as building a border wall, securing our border, and opening up all drilling for oil and natural gas are ESSENTIAL! Make America Great Again is a policy agenda for ALL Americans!” she wrote.
The GOP congresswoman added: “We need to STOP sending America’s hard earned tax dollars to foreign countries and foreign wars!! We can claw back money spent on Non-American things, stop wasting money on useless endeavors, and create budgets that rebuild America to greatness, create jobs, and grow and stabilize our economy!!”
