On Saturday, tens of thousands of supporters of former President Donald Trump attended a campaign rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, amidst the former president’s ongoing trials in New York, Washington D.C., Georgia, and Florida.
Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), who spoke ahead of the former president, said that the rally was the largest political rally in the state of New Jersey. It was reportedly expected to bring in over 40,000 supporters.
Fox News reported that they spoke to many attendees of the event, who believe that Trump could flip the state in November, as he attempts to take back the White House.
“I think this country needs to change — although, we already know what Trump’s all about. So, that change is just going to come right back to us because that’s what we need,” said another attendee, who identified himself only as Carlos. “We need Trump because I don’t think Biden is just getting the job done right now. Some of it’s his fault. Some of it is probably the people around him. But I think we need Trump back to get this country back to where it needs to be.”
Rod Delaine, a worker at an Amazon factory in Staten Island, and a resident of New Jersey, told Fox News that he drove two and a half hours to attend the rally. Another attendee, a schoolteacher named Anna, told the outlet that she “was motivated to attend because of the state of the economy.”
When asked about the former president’s chances in November, Carlos simply gestured to the crowd and said “Take a look.”
“There’s probably about six to 7,000 people waiting online and probably more. [The line] goes all the way back to the entrance. So, you’re looking at 35- to 40,000 people at this venue right now,” he said.
Another attendee, Frank, said that his support for Trump largely stems from his landscaping business, and the struggles they’ve had in recent years.
“Finding help is hard. And the cost of fuel and everything has just been outrageous,” he said, noting that gas prices have “exponentially” increased since the beginning of Biden’s presidency.
“I’m looking forward to things turning around and getting better again,” he said. “The majority of people that I know in my industry are not fans of Biden, because they’re struggling just like I am.”
Attendee Lisa Stelling referred to herself as a “convert,” having stemmed from a liberal family.
“It’s just like, something overnight shifted in the culture that I didn’t realize,” she said. “I was taking stuff at face value and the minute the walls came crumbling down, I just started [going] deep into everything.”
She added that she is not alone, and that others made up the “silent majority.”
“The secret to Donald Trump winning this year is that there are a whole bunch of silent majority Trump supporters who hiding in the shadows because of all the nonsense that happened,” she said. “They’re going to come out and they going to vote big time.”
