Crank up your air conditioners and fan yourselves with your MAGA hats, folks!
Despite a scorching heatwave and fresh charges levied by the Department of Justice, former President Trump pulled off a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania that had the temperatures soaring even higher.
Oh, and did I mention the size of the crowd?
You’d think we were in the middle of a cool fall day rather than a historic heatwave.
Thousands, yes, tens of thousands of supporters turned out in what’s supposed to be a ‘blue state’.
Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? How many of these folks are part of that silent majority we keep hearing about?
And let’s not forget to compare this to the other side of the political divide.
Can you picture President Biden managing to pull even half that crowd?
Let alone in weather conditions that make a sauna seem like a cool respite.
Yet, Trump’s supporters stood steadfast, braving the heat in a show of unyielding support that speaks volumes.

A rally like this, in this climate (both political and meteorological), is no small feat. Is it a sign of what’s to come?
Could this be an early indicator of the next election’s outcome?
The stakes are high, the weather hotter, and the political landscape is looking more intriguing than ever.
The Hill reports:
Former President Trump is holding a campaign rally in Erie, Pa. on Saturday — just days after the Department of Justice (DOJ) levied new charges against him in the classified documents probe.
In the superseding indictment filed late Thursday, the DOJ accused the former president and two co-consporators — Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos de Oliveira — of trying to delete Mar-a-Lago surveillance video footage last year.
Trump pleaded not guilty to the initial 37 charges of the records case in June.
Did you hear that?
That’s the sound of the political ground shaking beneath our feet in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.
The latest polls are in, and it looks like a nail-biter!
With Trump and Biden locked in a tight race, Pennsylvania is up for grabs.
And let me tell you, the Trump team is not holding back.
Why is Pennsylvania so important, you ask?
The answer is simple – it could make or break the election.
Last time around, Biden managed to sneak ahead by a slim margin. B
ut this time, things look different, very different.
Remember that rally we were talking about earlier?
The one where Trump, amidst the boiling heat, drew in tens of thousands of supporters?
That wasn’t just a show of support, it was a statement, a clear message that the momentum and excitement in the state are very much in Trump’s court.
Take a look at the moment Trump took the stage inside the convention center:

Now imagine being in the shoes of the Democrats or the Biden campaign right now.
Would that not make you quake in your boots? If crowd size is anything to go by, then they should be very, very concerned.
Even the numbers within the GOP are telling a story.
Trump leading the pack with 49%, leaving DeSantis far behind with 25%.
It’s evident that Trump’s hold over the party and his base is as strong as ever.
NBC confirms Trump and Biden are tied in Pennsylvania:
Meanwhile, Quinnipiac University released a poll on the same day showing Biden and Trump essentially tied in the battleground state of Pennsylvania — with Trump at 47% and Biden at 46% among registered voters.
(Quinnipiac did not test a hypothetical match-up between Biden and DeSantis.)
And gauging the Republican presidential race in the Keystone State, Quinnipiac shows a fundamentally different GOP contest there — Trump 49%, DeSantis 25%.
Can both of those polls be right? Is Biden really ahead in Wisconsin (a state he won by about 0.6 percentage points in 2020), but tied in Pennsylvania (which he won nearly twice that margin)? And is DeSantis really running neck-and-neck with Trump in one of the states despite trailing badly in national polls of the GOP primary?
So, is Biden really ahead in Wisconsin but tied in Pennsylvania?
Could DeSantis possibly be neck-and-neck with Trump in the Keystone State despite lagging in national polls?
With such intriguing political dynamics, the stakes just got even higher.
A lot can change.
We’re still early in the race.
If Biden gets impeached or if Hunter’s legal woes finally catch up with him, Pennsylvania might go full-Trump.
Only time will tell!
