Trump's pitch to NY voters: 'What have you got to lose?'

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday attempted to sway voters in deep-blue New York by outlining the decline of his former home state and vowing to "rescue" the state.

"And so I say to the people of New York, with crime at record levels, with terrorists and criminals pouring in, and with inflation eating your hearts out, vote for Donald Trump. What the hell do you have to Lose? What do you have to lose?" he asked at a rally in Uniondale.

"My first week back in the Oval Office, I will clean up and call up your governor and mayors all across your state, and I will tell them, It's time to work together. They're largely Democrats. It's time to work together for the good of the people," he added.

"We are going to rescue our country. We are going to rescue our Democrat run states. We are going to start by saving the Great State of New York," Trump declared.

Trump has previously touted a "heavy play" for his former home state and campaign extensively in the Big Apple earlier this year, amid his criminal trial in Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's hush money case. He reiterated his assertions that he could win the Democratic bastion during the Wednesday rally.

"We're going to win New York, and if you vote for me, I'm going to reduce your taxes, reduce your crime and reduce your levels of stress," he promised. "The only thing that I will increase are your incomes and your love for your state will come roaring back again."
