Former President Donald Trump predicted Thursday he might be able to win New York state in the 2024 election, saying the campaign will “make a play” to the typically blue state.

The former president has mostly remained in New York, his home state, for more than a week while he has to make mandatory court appearances in his so-called “hush-money” trial in Manhattan.
