27 people participated in the meeting held by former US President Donald Trump’s supporters on Friday. A rally in Washington DC in support of Trump was notable for its lack of attendance. Trump supporters put forward several reasons for not attending the meeting, including heavy sun and protesters. The meeting was organized by supporters of the former president. Trump was not involved. It is reported that only 27 people came to participate in the rally.
Video footage of Trump’s earlier speeches were shown at the meeting, called Stop Dictators and Unite for Freedom. Chief among the guests was former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon. Trump’s campaign aide, Matt Brainard, was also among those who attended the meeting. Organizer John Paul Moran claims that some people tried to disrupt the event. Moran alleged that those who came to protest had received money.
Far-right attorney Deborah Weiss blamed Weil for the rally’s low turnout. Weiss says people were busy. Weiss also suspects that emails inviting people to the event may have gone to the spam folder. Others blamed the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots for the lack of people at the pro-Trump event. Although the former president did not attend this rally, it is suggested that he will attend some of the meetings held soon. Save America rallies are being held in Minden, Nevada on Saturday and in Mesa, Arizona on Sunday. It is estimated that Trump will participate.
Most Republicans are suggesting that Trump be re-elected in the 2024 presidential election. The Republican proposal to bring back the former president comes as Democrats are calling for Joe Biden to be replaced. This response was obtained in a survey. Joe Biden’s age is seen by Democrats as an obstacle to the second term. 79-year-old Joe Biden is America’s oldest president.
