The final number came in at 75,000 including all of the overflow areas and people just waiting in line standing on streets. This was on the hottest day of the year. I was at the Florence, SC rally in 2022 on the coldest day of the year. There were people in t-shirts and shorts even though the temps were in the 20's and there were light snow flurries. Winds were in the 40 mpg range all day for that one. That rally was only in the 45k attendance range since people do hot better than cold in SC.
Wowzers. people getting up at 5am for a rally. I even heard of people camping out overnight for one of his 2020 ones.
And you're telling me this man lost to a guy who hid in his basement and could only muster 15 people to his speeches and most of them press???
Get real.

They camped out for this one too. The crowd didn't just materialize at 5:30 AM.
