President Donald Trump praised Alabama and its senior U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) Sunday evening in front of a sold-out crowd during a star-studded rally at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

If elected to office on November 5, Trump promised to usher in another golden age in America by driving down inflation and driving out illegal immigration. During his hour-long speech, he also thanked Tuberville and Alabama voters for their support.

“We have a senator here who I love, Senator Tommy Tuberville. He’s from a great place, Alabama. I love Alabama,” Trump said, prompting one audience member to shout back, “Love Alabama. Roll Tide!”

Trump said he had a massive lead in Alabama over Vice President Kamala Harris, who has perpetrated “the most egregious betrayal” on Americans by allowing illegal immigrants to flow into the country unchecked.

“I’m up in Alabama 49 points. Forty-nine points! We’re up by a lot in a lot of different places, but it’s a great place. Thank you, Tommy,” Trump said.

Tuberville was an official guest of Trump at the rally Sunday, which had a host of heavy hitters on the speakers list, including Tucker Carlson, Robert Kennedy, Jr., Elon Musk, Dr. Phil, Tony Hinchcliffe and Hulk Hogan.
