Inside and Outside the Trump Rally in Phoenix

Thousands of Trump supporters flocked to Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Wednesday, February 19, to hear President Donald Trump speak at his first Arizona rally of 2020. Some supporters had waited in line for almost 24 hours and nearly everyone was decked out in Trump gear.

Trump touted his 2016 presidential win, made jokes about his Democratic opponents, shouted out former Arizona Coyotes' player Jeremy Roenick, and touched on key campaign points like banning sanctuary cities.
