Thousands of people turned out to greet President Trump in Minden, Nevada tonight. What a remarkable crowd. We have compiled some videos and photos of the event.
The original rally had been set to be held at a hangar at the Reno-Tahoe airport. However, the Nevada Independent reports that the event was in violation of a state directive limiting gatherings to 50 people.
Campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh accused Democrats of putting the president’s airport rallies in limbo.
“Democrats are trying to keep President Trump from speaking to voters because they know the enthusiasm behind his re-election campaign cannot be matched by Joe Biden — a historically weak candidate controlled by the radical left who could hold a campaign event in a broom closet,” Murtaugh said.
So the campaign traveled 50 miles away to the town of Minden — where thousands of people showed up.

It is absolutely packed at the Minden-Tahoe airport ahead of the president’s rally tonight. Several attendees tell me they came from nearby California. Nevada is a battleground state Trump lost in 2016 but remains competitive in 2020. pic.twitter.com/0ceG6hPTve
