On Oct. 27, the steps of Penn Station — and spilling out onto the surrounding streets — red “MAGA” hats went as far as the eye could see. With just over a week before Election Day, Donald Trump gave his closing remarks to the 2024 presidential campaign in front of a crowd that filled Madison Square Garden. Outside the venue, hundreds of anti-Trump protesters did their part to add to the noise, but were outnumbered by Trump rally goers.
