Get ready for a scorching Sunday at Trump’s rally, with temperatures expected to hit 100 degrees in Las Vegas. The event saw a medical emergency and Secret Service agents calling for help before Trump took the stage at Sunset Park.
Temperatures started at 86 degrees at 8:45 am, rising steadily throughout the day. Despite the sizzling heat, Trump addressed the crowd around noon. To combat the sun, the campaign set up tents, misting fans, and permitted small umbrellas for attendees, with medical staff on standby.
In Phoenix, Arizona, 11 people were hospitalized for heat exhaustion during a similar rally, with temperatures reaching 110 degrees. Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia made an appearance at the Vegas rally, sparking controversy with her comments.
Amidst Democrats and fake news claims, Greene mentioned previous legal issues faced by Trump, including falsifying documents. In response, Michael McDonald, the Nevada Republican Party Chairman, addressing the crowd in religious terms, emphasized their support for Trump.
McDonald himself faced legal allegations for falsifying documents related to the 2020 election, where Joe Biden won Nevada by a 2.4% margin. Despite the heat, political tensions, and legal issues, the rally continued with fervor.
