Despite the political witch hunt that continues to be led against Trump, support only continues to grow for our true president!
Saturday’s rally is proof of that.
The Jersey Shore rally will be absolutely HUGE, and it could be Trump’s BIGGEST rally yet!
AP reported on the giant Trump rally scheduled for Saturday:
After a long week in court, Donald Trump is heading to the Jersey Shore. And his campaign says he’ll be joined by “tens of thousands” of his friends.
Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, expects to draw what his team is calling a “mega crowd” to a Saturday evening rally in the southern New Jersey resort town of Wildwood. It will be held 150 miles (241 kilometers) south of the New York City courthouse where he has been forced to spend most weekdays sitting silently through his felony hush money trial.
The beachfront gathering is designed to serve as a show of force at a critical moment for Trump, a presidential candidate known for drawing huge crowds.
ADVERTISEMENTTrump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller said the “tens of thousands” expected attendees would be a notable contrast to the number that typically show up for President Joe Biden’s political events, which Miller described as being only “eight circles, two of which are empty.”
Trump’s gathering in deep-blue New Jersey comes less than six months before Election Day.
The former president’s extraordinary legal woes, which include three other unrelated criminal cases, have emerged as a central focus of the campaign.
Trump has repeatedly accused the Biden administration and Democratic officials in New York of using the legal system to block his return to the White House. Prosecutors allege the former president broke the law to conceal an affair with a porn actor that would have hurt his first presidential bid.
And while Trump will almost certainly seize on his legal woes Saturday, a judge’s gag order — and the threat of jail — will limit Trump’s ability to comment publicly on witnesses, jurors and some others connected to the New York trial, which is expected to consume much of the month. The judge in the case already has fined Trump $9,000 for violating the order and warned that jail could follow if he doesn’t comply.
Trump’s responsibilities as a defendant have limited his ability to win over voters on the campaign trail.
He spent last week’s off-day from court in the general election battlegrounds of Wisconsin and Michigan. And he’s expecting to face a massive crowd Saturday in New Jersey, a reliably Democratic state. Parts of New Jersey have deep-red enclaves and the southern shoreline in particular draws tourists and summer homeowners from neighboring Pennsylvania, a key swing state.
NJ.com added some more details on the massive crowd of supporters already lining up for the beachfront rally:
With less than 24 hours before former President Donald Trump’s arrival in Wildwood for his Saturday beachfront rally, supporters have already gathered at the boardwalk and started lining up for an event that is expected to draw thousands to the New Jersey beach.
The rally will be held on a section of the beach near 3601 Boardwalk, between Morey’s Piers and Adventure Pier. Ticket holders can enter between 12 and 1:30 p.m. on Saturday.
People started lining up on the boardwalk as early as Thursday, braving chilled winds for a chance at seeing the presumptive Republican presidential nominee for the November’s general election close up. It is not yet clear how many people will be in attendance, but local officials have estimated that a crowd of up to 40,000 could fit in the space.
Many people on the boardwalk were wearing Trump T-shirts and hats, with several supporters carrying Trump-themed flags that towered high above the boardwalk.
A handful of people who were lining up on the cold and overcast Friday afternoon came from various parts of the Garden State, while others journeyed from other states as far as Tennessee.
Cory Adams was the first supporter to arrive Thursday. After packing up his car and trekking 10 hours from Mansfield, Ohio to the Jersey Shore city, the 22-year-old formed a line, which eventually grew to about 50 to 100 people late Thursday.
“I believe Trump can save the country,” Adams told NJ Advance Media as he was seated on a beach chair in front of Morey’s Pier, bundled in a blanket and sweatshirt.
What do you think?
Will Jersey Shore experience the HUGEST Trump rally to date this weekend?
