President Donald Trump officially kicked off his 2020 reelection campaign with a mega MAGA rally held at the 20,000 seat Amway Center in Orlando, Florida on Tuesday. TGP was there to cover the rally. This is part three of a series of TGP on scene reports on the rally. Part one report and photos at this link. Part two at this link.
Despite having spent all day (and in some cases two days) outside in the Florida heat, humidity and storms, the crowd for the rally was tired but fired up just the same. The TGP reporter-in-training and I made it down from the top level of the Amway Center to the jam-packed press pen between speakers–what turned out be the period before Vice President Mike Pence spoke.
Photos taken of the crowd show some restless and some resting. Same for the press. Pence did a good job speaking to the crowd. He has wisely not tried to reinvent himself as a Trump mini-me, but has kept his own style which works for him. The crowd was fired up when he was done!
