GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — After days of anticipation, Republican nominee Donald Trump made his first stop on the campaign trail since the attempt on his life one week ago.
Trump, along with Vice Presidential Nominee J.D. Vance, appeared at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids Saturday afternoon. The campaign rally drew thousands of people to downtown hours before the doors opened.
According to people in the crowd, the Trump-Vance campaign provided more than 36,000 tickets. Van Andel Arena can only hold around 12,000.
Watch the full rally below:
The word is Trump is in the building but they’re waiting for the arena to reach capacity before Trump comes in. Those last two sections are all that’s left as people are still lined up outside Van Andel Arena downtown. https://t.co/Qnn9MR395m pic.twitter.com/R0gf88zc2w
