Does anyone know how many people attended the Wilkes-Barr rally?

I saw one post with some empty seats, but really, I wonder how many people are still going to these events?

Anyone have any insight?

Thanks in advance, and sorry if there is already a post about this, I could not locate it.

I would assume that if his rally crowd is dwindling, so is his core support.

I feel as though it might be wishful thinking on my part.

I’ve read a number of articles, but no description of the size of the crowd.

with overflow outside.

Ok, how does that compare to other rally’s?

I never go to any events, I have no sense about this sort of thing.

Without doing a bunch of googling and whatnot, let’s assume he sold out the floor and the bottom level.

So maybe 5000.

But really, so what? It’s important to keep in mind that the people showing up at these events are extremists and do not represent a majority of political ideology in almost ANY DISTRICT he goes to.

It’s like being surprised that NASCAR attracts more people to their Pocono Raceway event than Indycar does. So what? Is it really a surprise that there are enough morons within driving distance to make a good crowd for that dumbass?

and was just shocked at how many times they played Trump speaking and how they seemed to imply that this was some huge event filled with enthusiastic followers. And the critiques of the Democrats and Biden just seems to go on and on. I did not expect this from the BBC. So, I got to wondering how big this crowd actually was.

I live in a half red half blue area. With plenty of aggressive nut job Trumpers around.

I have observed a change in their attitude. They seem to be less in my face and slightly subdued.

I was hoping that this was the case all over the country.

I am asking this question because I am trying to get a grip on how Trumpers in other parts of the country are responding to all these revelations.
