ATLANTA, Georgia — The rally for former President Donald Trump and Vice Presidential Nominee J.D. Vance held at the Georgia State Convocation Center went off without a hitch with no reported security incidents and no severe heat-related injuries despite a heat index of 96 degrees Fahrenheit on Saturday. A crowd of approximately 8,000 ultimately filled the arena that plays home to the Georgia State Panthers men’s and women’s basketball teams. Downtown residents seemed unimpacted by the increased vehicle traffic and the thousands of Trump supporters who remained on the streets after the rally began.

The crowd began to arrive around 7:00 a.m., some ten hours before the event was slated to begin.

“Things have gotten so expensive, from gasoline to groceries, it’s getting harder to get around and almost impossible to feed a family,” Stacey told Breitbart.
Another group of men said they switched their support to the Republican party after years of voting Democrat. On behalf of the group sporting shirts that read TRUMP DADS #FathersRights, Brandon Marteliz says “Our group has been following Donald Trump since 2015, we were institutionally ignorant about politics and told who to vote for based upon what we look like. No more, we’re done!”

Officers from Atlanta’s finest were posted near the facility’s entrance, ready to respond to any incidents and offer emergency services if required. Luckily, despite the heat and the large number of people hoping to gain entrance into the limited-capacity facility, there were none….
