On October 27, 2024, presidential candidate Donald Trump hosted a campaign rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The main event was a 78-minute speech from Trump, which his campaign characterized as his closing message. Multiple people associated with Trump, such as Donald Trump Jr., Elon Musk, Rudy Giuliani, and Tucker Carlson, as well as his running mate JD Vance, gave speeches before and after Trump.
Particular attention was paid to remarks by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who spoke prior to Trump and made jokes widely considered offensive toward Latinos (including Puerto Ricans), Jews, Palestinians, and Black people. The Democratic National Committee projected messaging tying Trump to Adolf Hitler onto the exterior of the building while Trump was speaking, referencing comments he allegedly made praising Hitler's generals. Some Democrats also drew comparisons between the rally and the 1939 Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden.
Despite speculation that the event could swing the outcome of the presidential election in favor of Harris, Trump went on to win nine days after the rally.
