"Pockets" of the crowd who attended Donald Trump's rally at Georgia Tech's McCamish Pavilion on Monday left as the former president was delivering his address, according to a local journalist.
Footage posted on X (formerly Twitter) by Greg Bluestein, a reporter for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, showed significant numbers of empty seats early in Trump's speech at the 8,600-capacity venue, with an entire top tier appearing nearly empty. Bluestein later posted a longer video at roughly the "hour-mark" of Trump's address, which showed the number of attendees in some seating sections had further thinned out.
Georgia, which Trump won in 2016 but lost to President Joe Biden in 2020, is one of the key swing states that may end up determining the 2024 presidential election. Recent polling indicates the race remains razor tight, with an analysis of recent surveys published on Monday by election website FiveThirtyEight giving Trump a 54 percent chance of victory, against 46 percent for Harris.
On Monday, around 40 minutes into Trump's Georgia address, Bluestein shared an 11-second video from the arena showing substantial clusters of empty seats. He wrote: "Pockets of the crowd at Georgia Tech's McCamish Pavilion start to leave as Donald Trump's speech continues."
Are folks getting tired of attending these Klan rallies.
