Following former President Donald J. Trump’s rally in Green Bay, supporters could be seen rushing to their cars to avoid pouring, soaking rain that seemed to stick around all afternoon.
Earlier, though, the atmosphere was lively despite an earlier bout of heavy rain that swept through. Trump supporters from far and wide shared that they had been waiting for hours in a line stretched around multiple blocks on Holmgren Way.
Security worked to get them all inside, but while they waited, Trump supporters banded together, celebrating their camaraderie.
“I pray I can get inside. This is history in the making, though,” one supporter said.
“The atmosphere right now? It’s kind of… it’s electric,” shared another.
“We love the economy that’s going to come back, and we are ready for Donald Trump to come back,” a supporter added, followed by chants of “Four more years! Four more years!”
This is the second time the former president has rallied his supporters in Green Bay ahead of this year’s election—the first was in April, amidst a snowstorm.
Now tonight, rain as he seeks to win election next week.
