Trump Rally Draws Between 80-100k on the Beach in Wildwood, NJ; May Be 'Largest' in 'State History'
Red State ^ | 5/11/24 | Nick Arama

I wrote about the run-up to former President Donald Trump's speech in Wildwood, New Jersey, that you had people camping out on the beach since Thursday to make sure they got seats at the rally. I have a friend there who camped out Friday night and woke up to hundreds around him this morning, who were there already, long before the 5 p.m. speech.

It was taking on a Woodstock kind of a feel and yes, they were registering people to vote.

The energy here in Wildwood is ELECTRIC!

I’ve never seen so many young people at a Trump rally.

Gen Z is coming out for Trump.

It seemed like everyone was out and lining the streets.

The numbers there were astounding.

According to reports, including from the AP: Lisa Fagan, spokesperson for the city of Wildwood, told The Associated Press that she estimated the crowd represented between 80,000 and 100,000 attendees, based off her own observations on the scene Saturday, having seen “dozens” of other events in the same space.

The beachfront gathering, described by Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., as the largest political gathering in state history, was designed to serve as a show of force at a critical moment for Trump, who is facing dozens of felony charges in four separate criminal cases with the election less than six months away. There is a real possibility that Trump could be a convicted felon by Election Day.

“Welcome to the LARGEST political rally in the HISTORY of the state of New Jersey.” — U.S. Congressman Jeff Van Drew @Congressman_JVD.

Trump ripped how Biden had driven costs up for everything.

Football legends Lawrence Taylor and Otis "OJ" Anderson, who are golfing buddies of Trump, also came out. Taylor said he had been a Democrat. But now, because of Trump, no one in his family will ever vote Democrat again.

Anderson noted no one in the audience had left, even being there for hours or days.

Trump encouraged people to vote early or on Election Day, but to get out and vote.

This is a developing story, and RedState will provide further details as they become available.

All of this happened 4 years ago, too. Huge Trump rallies. Biden hiding in the closet. Trump was rolling.

Then the stolen election happened.

I could say the same for NY, but ultimately they’re both Blue states with significant urban corruption and too many voting Rat at the district, county, and state levels.

Staten Island voted for Trump in 2016 & 2020

While there is no doubt of course there is a strong and well entrenched Democrat machine here in key districts of NJ like Hudson County, Essex County(that's where Newark is) Union County, etc there are quiet a number of counties that ARE NOT liberal bastions.

Ocean, Cape May County and others are conservatives but we're out numbered here so we keep it on the qt. But look at last night in Wildwood, NJ.Just LOOK AT THAT! Trump KILLED IT!

Biden’s base is the black community and yet he never campaigns there. Is Biden being racist?

The closest Biden gets to his base is black colleges. What about Philly or Baltimore? Or New York City. Why don’t white liberal elties go into the black community?

Are they racist?

And Steve Kornacki? To hear him talk on election night you would think the whole democrat base is ‘ white liberal elites’ living in college towns. That’s a lie - the big numbers for democrats are from black city voters.

We’re supposed to believe Joe Dementia in 2020 got some 10 million more votes than the Bamster in 2012.

Without white guilt votes?

No sale.

“For Biden to get those numbers, he’d have to have Taylor Swift + Bruce Springsteen performing !”

AND it would have to be a free concert.

AND Biden would have to speak in the middle of the concert because no one would stay for him otherwise.

Open borders, dead whales (probably caused by Biden windmills — how much money is all this green nonsense costing?)

Trump attracted 100,000 there? Big deal.

Biden has attracted over 10 million across the border.
