According to a report by Fox News, the previous President Donald Trump managed to draw a significant number of attendees to a rally in New Jersey. The estimated attendance for the event ranged from 80,000 to 100,000 individuals. The rally took place in Wildwood, a beach city in south Jersey, which has a year-round population of 5,157 as per the 2020 census. Trump’s presence at the rally ignited the crowd, and he expressed confidence in achieving a resounding victory in the upcoming November election. Republican New Jersey Representative Jeff Van Drew, who was formerly a Democrat, stated that this event marked the largest political gathering in the history of New Jersey.

“We’re going to win New Jersey,” the former president said. “As you can see today, we’re expanding the electoral map because … we’re going to win the state of New Jersey. I think we’re going to win them all. All across America, millions of people, so-called blue states, are joining our movement based on love, intelligence, and a thing called common sense.”

Trump also heavily criticized President Joe Biden and accused him of enacting damaging economic and border policies that have significantly increased living costs for New Jersey families.
