Trump Ends Campaign Amid Rally Attendance Claims

Donald Trump concluded his 2024 presidential campaign with a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he addressed his supporters with both nostalgic and combative tones, attacking political rivals like Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris. Despite his boasts about rally attendance, reports and video footage indicate that some supporters left his speeches early, including an incident at a rally in North Carolina where a man left during Trump's speech. Trump has consistently denied these claims, asserting that his rallies are always filled and that no one leaves, a point he reiterated during an event in Arizona with Tucker Carlson. This focus on crowd size seems to be a recurring theme for Trump, who contrasts his events with those of Vice President Harris, whose rallies reportedly draw large numbers. As the election approaches, Trump continues to emphasize his connection with his base, despite signs of waning enthusiasm.
