‘Kamala broke it, I’ll fix it,’ says Trump while campaigning at Madison Square Garden

Republican presidential nominee and former US President Donald Trump brought his campaign to New York City on Sunday, holding a rally at Madison Square Garden where he took repeated jabs at Kamala Harris.

The former president opened the speech by asking if Americans were better off than four years ago, emphasising his intent to restore what he claimed Harris had broken. As part of his closing argument just 9 days before Election Day, Trump told the crowd, “On issue after issue, Kamala broke it, but I’ll fix it,” with supporters waving palcards that read, “Trump Will Fix It.”

During the speech, the former US president touched on familiar themes, such as criticizing Harris’s intelligence, describing the US as occupied due to immigrants and pledging additional taxes on foreign imports and outsourced jobs.

Trumps rally featured high-profile figures such as Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and House Speaker Mike Johnson. Former first lady Melania Trump also made a rare appearance during the campaign and introduced her husband briefly.  Guest speakers at the rally sparked controversy, especially comedian Tony Hinchcliffe described Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” that invited mixed reactions from the audience.
