Massive crowds are already lining up in Aurora, Colorado, as Trump is set to hold a rally at 3:00 p.m.
Trump’s visit comes after the 45th president previously pledged to visit the city after several videos of Venezuela gangs taking over apartment buildings in Aurora went viral.

The Denver Post shared these details:
Donald Trump’s visit to Aurora on Friday for a sold-out rally will mark the first big public event by a major-party presidential candidate in Colorado this year — with Trump’s visit motivated more by the chance to amplify his rhetoric about migrants than to seize on any likely prospect of winning Colorado.
His planned afternoon stop on the northern edge of Aurora, near the airport, comes three weeks after the former president and current Republican nominee pledged to visit a suburban city he’s falsely claimed has been overrun by Venezuelan gangs. His visit has been met with praise from some Republican officials, pushback from Democrats and attempts by city officials to rebut his repeated exaggerations of gang problems that have been most apparent at a handful of Aurora apartment complexes.
Trump is scheduled to speak at the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center at 1 p.m. Doors open for the event at 9 a.m., according to the Trump campaign. Trump will then travel to Reno, Nevada, for another rally scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. mountain time.
The campaign has not released more information about the event, and campaign staff did not respond to a message seeking information on the number of tickets distributed. But a front desk clerk for the Gaylord said Thursday that the event would be indoors, with a capacity of 10,000.
Aurora, Colorado is making it clear that they want President Trump to save them from the massive amount of illegals that Democrats have been importing into their city.

Per KDVR:
On Friday, former President Donald Trump will fly to Colorado and speak in Aurora during a sold-out event.
The visit comes after Trump said he would come to Aurora during a rally in Uniondale, New York on Sept. 18. While the Republican presidential candidate didn’t arrive within his initial two-week promise, he will be speaking at 1 p.m. on Friday at the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center.
According to his campaign website, the event is completely sold out, but FOX31 will have multiple reporters at the event and Trump’s remarks will be streamed live in full on KDVR.com and in the FOX31 News App.
