BLOOMFIELD — Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump will be at Staten Island for brunch on Sunday to celebrate Lincoln Day.
The event, hosted and organized by the Richmond County Republican party, will take place at the Hilton Garden Inn from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Tickets for the event are $150, and approximately 600 have been sold so far, according to John Antoniello, one of the organizers and County GOP chairman.
"We are expecting even more [attendees]," said Antoniello to DNAinfo on Monday.
