Donald Trump lost the state of New Jersey by 16 points in 2020. Judging by the turnout at this rally in Wildwood on the Jersey shore, it appears that New Jersey is going to be a lot less blue in November.
It was the largest political rally in the history of New Jersey.

Politico reports that people had camped out for days to get the best seats for the event. Trump made it worth the wait.
It was red meat from start to finish.
“All of this persecution is only happening because I’m running for president. If I wasn’t leading in the polls by a lot and running for president, they wouldn’t be after me. I’d have a nice place. I’d be down in Palm Beach. I’d be traveling the world,” Trump said.
After referring to the people around Biden as „the Gestapo“ last week, Trump ratcheted up the insults against Biden himself.
“You could take the 10 worst presidents in the history of our country, and add them up .. and they haven’t done the damage to our country that this total moron has done,” Trump, 77, said to the cheering crowd.
“He’s a fool, he’s not a smart man. He never was,” Trump said. In the 1980s, Biden was known as the „dumbest man in Washington.“
Things got very rowdy when Trump talked about Al Capone.
