The analysis said the median estimate is that 5.2 million people took part, while the upper approximation is 8.2 million people.
Newsweek has produced a map showing which states saw the highest turnout based on the crowdsourced estimates.
It shows that New York had the highest estimated attendance, with almost 380,000 people estimated to have been at events in the state, followed by California and Illinois, where about 260,000 and 250,000 people are estimated to have attended events, respectively. States with the lowest turnout include Nebraska and South Dakota, with each of those two states estimated to have had only about 500 people at events.

It was a response to Trump’s backlit right light speech he gave flanked by the Marines; oh, wait . . . .
I don’t see a map.
Geriatric for hire mercenaries. They used to get on busses for a roll of quarters and a meal voucher at the casinos. Now it’s five rolls of quarters, a meal voucher, and a burner phone.
I wondered about that - but I was too disinterested to even click the link.
The other day at a bar, a couple Democrats I know were going on about ‘no kings day’ trying to spark a conversation - almost everyone else there feigned ignorance just to avoid talking to them.
Even amongst people I know who don’t like Trump at all - I don’t think too many buy this idea that he wants to be a king.
Mostly I saw a lot of people’s eyes glaze over from boredom.
Judging from that, it doesn’t surprise me to hear the whole thing was a bust.
Yeah, I’ve been a bit curious about turnout at the larger demonstrations, but there seems to be no reliable information at all. That alone tells me something.
Unfortunately they vote. I hope republicans vote in November even without Trump on the ballot. I’d love to win the NJ Governor seat, the VA AG seat and kick out those three lousy judges in Pennsylvania. Obviously more wins would be even greater.
Newsweek uses the same statistical analysis as the HAMAS information ministry. They add “000” at the end of any real numbers.
Based on ny cali and ill turnout they got nowhere near five million.
How many people attended more than one event?
That is the number I would like to see.
How many people were paid to attend?
Who paid them?
More questions with no answers from the article.
They vote and Republicans vote. Both sides are motivated. What is your point?
wow great another ‘No Brains’ rally
Yeah, that was my thought also. They talked about pictures also, but peovided none of those either.
Proof is in November. That’s my point. We’ve lost most election cycles when Trump is not on the ballot.
310 MILLION IN THE USA
5.2 MILLION TOOK PART
ONLY ABOUT-—BARELY 2%. CLOSER TO 1.7%
They were rounding up nursing homes and outfitting them
Many were over 80 like silent generation
Some just seemed there
Plenty on YouTube
Not that there aren’t lefty boomers especially in lib areas
But boomers vote more R than anyone
It’s kind of too to bottom age wise right to left voting
Gen Z white males being a glaring exception
There are about 4 million CURRENT teachers in the country, and a couple million if retired teachers - right there you have many of these Leftist protestors. In 2024 there were 14 million union members, not counting retired, so these are the people who are out there protesting as Conservatives want school reform and are not huge Federal union supporters. NOW, we also have 40 million welfare recipients - so that's where the 5 million come from.
I saw vids nursing home buses of folks 65-90 often in wheel chairs
80-90 is silent generation like my folks were
I watched kids handing them gear
