Supporters of President Donald Trump who camped out on June 17 in preparation for the June 18 rally spoke out about why they support him.
Nancy said the rallies feel like a “rock concert” and was looking forward to hearing what Trump had to say about his plans for a second term.
“What I want to hear is what he has planned for everybody to move forward,” she said.
Hundreds of people were lined up by 6 a.m. Tuesday.
“This is a bucket list item,” added Maria, referring to attending the rally.
Ann and Bill Cwynar were also lined up to get inside the Amway Center, which holds approximately 20,000 people.
“And he’s doing what he said he would do.”
Live music played while people stood in line as food trucks sold food to the attendees.
There were large screens set up outside since organizers expected thousands of people to arrive in addition to those who could fit into the arena.
Some people got there as early as 2 a.m. Monday.
“We came here thinking if we got here today, we’d be late,” added Ellie Salvador, 67, of Miami. “I want to get inside, not watch him on a TV screen.”
Wolf Ward of Colorado was also among those in line who camped out on Monday night.
The construction worker said that Trump acts like someone on a job site. “A general contractor, you don’t care if he’s brusque,“ he told Gallion. ”You care that he gets the job done.”
