Former President Donald Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday was framed as his "closing argument" in his bid for the White House and as a way to bring a diverse group of supporters together.

As the fallout from Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally spilled into Monday, even some of the candidate’s closest allies were left lamenting the series of racist, misogynistic and vulgar remarks made before the former president spoke.

With just over a week to go before Election Day, the former president will take the stage at one of the country’s most iconic venues, hosting a hometown rally to deliver his campaign’s closing message.
