“President Trump said during an exclusive Oval Office interview on Thursday that his campaign is ‘putting New York in play’ against Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 election” reports The NY Post.
“Trump told The Post that he believes a spike in violent crime and high taxes can help him win his home state in an upset against Biden and running mate Kamala Harris. ‘Over the last six months what’s happened is insane. It’s insane. So we’re going to try very hard to win New York and that will be the first time — is that since Ronald Reagan, I guess? Since Ronald Reagan,’ Trump said. ‘I will bring down taxes and I’ll make sure that the New York City is a safe place. I mean, this is one of our cherished — this is a cherished diamond of this country. And we can’t let this happen to New York.’ The president said his campaign would spend money on efforts to win New York and that he plans to make campaign stops. He bashed New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s performance.”
