Trump supporters converge on Madison Square Garden ahead of highly-anticipated rally: 'Iconic'

"This is going to be an iconic, historic day, and you can see it's already full. I mean, it's amazing. These tickets sold out in less than three hours. And it shows the enthusiasm, the momentum, the energy, as we are in this closing chapter of an unbelievable campaign," New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik told Fox News Digital from inside Madison Square Garden on Sunday. 

Trump is expected to take the stage after 5 p.m. on Sunday evening, where supporters began gathering on Saturday in anticipation of the event. Trump had teased for months that he would hold a rally at Madison Square Garden and officially announced the event earlier in October. 

"We just rented Madison Square Garden. We're going to make a play. We're going to make a play for New York. Hasn't been done in a long time. It hasn't been done in many decades," Trump said during a Pennsylvania rally earlier this month. New York last voted for a Republican president in 1984 during President Ronald Reagan's landslide victory, when he only lost the state of Minnesota. 

"I do think that President Trump can make history and win New York, and here's why. If you look at Kamala Harris's performance, she is underperforming Joe Biden in every single swing district in New York City. She will be the lowest performing Democrat nominee for president since the 1980s. President Trump has historic support among growing demographic groups, African American voters, Hispanic voters, Jewish voters, working class voters. So this is an America First movement that works for all Americans and I think that New York could make history on Election Day."

The rally is first-come, first-serve, and sold out within hours of being announced. Madison Square Garden has a capacity of 19,500 people. 

Fox Digital spoke to attendees gathered outside the arena, who relayed they are "excited" to see Trump at home in New York City and that many New Yorkers are ready to pull the lever for the GOP ticket next week. 

Another rally-goer named Anas Shuaib said that on Nov. 5 voters will tell Harris: "You're fired."

"I want Kamala to know, you're fired," he continued. 

Stefanik added in her comment to Fox Digital that the rally is a testament to his support nationwide.
