Spectators at Harrisburg's New Holland Arena were energized as they exited the venue after attending a campaign rally featuring former President Donald Trump. This marked Trump's first campaign event in Pennsylvania following a recent assassination attempt in Butler County.
During the rally, Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of being 'the architect of the border invasion' and supporting far-left policies that he believes could lead to a Communist country. He also scrutinized her past as a California prosecutor.
Outside the arena, supporters adorned in American flags and Trump paraphernalia expressed their excitement at witnessing the former president in person, especially in light of the recent assassination attempt.
Attendees shared their enthusiasm, with one couple describing the rally as even more exhilarating than a concert. Another supporter expressed unwavering loyalty to Trump, stating that he has been their president since day one and is the right person for the job.
Amidst the fervor, there were calls for voter turnout in the upcoming election, with one supporter emphasizing the importance of both prayer and voting. Another attendee from Maryland labeled Vice President Harris as a liar, criticizing her for referring to herself as a presidential candidate without being officially nominated.
The rally drew a capacity crowd of 7,600 attendees, with Trump leading a moment of silence in honor of Corey Comperatore, who lost his life in the recent assassination attempt. The event showcased the continued support and enthusiasm for the former president among his base.
