Manhattan — Former president Donald Trump and a star-studded roster of campaign surrogates rallied at Madison Square Garden on Sunday in front of a raucous crowd that packed the world’s most famous arena and clogged the surrounding city blocks.

Trump finally took the stage hours into an all-day event that looked more like this summer’s Republican National Convention than a typical campaign rally. The arena was surrounded by tens of thousands of MAGA faithful that snarled traffic for blocks in every direction.
