Massive Crowd Attended 'Keep America Great Rally' In Hershey, Pennsylvania
Thousands of people attended the Keep America Great rally at the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday night. Many of them waited hours in the cold rain to hear President Trump speak.
Pennsylvania is crucial to Trump’s re-election. In 2016, Trump beat Hillary Clinton by less than one percentage point, 44,292 votes, and captured the state’s 20 electoral votes.
The line of people to get into the Giant Center was massive. The doors opened at 3 p.m. even though the president didn’t take the stare until 7 p.m.

President Trump spoke about the impeachment articles, predicting it will backfire on the Democrats. He also pointed out the “silver lining of impeachment”— the trade agreement will get approved, and will boost Pennsylvania’s economy. The president pointed out Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced her support of the USMCA on the same day she announced they were going forward with impeachment. Trump told the crowd, “It plays down the impeachment because they’re embarrassed by the impeachment.”
“You saw their so-called articles of impeachment today? People are saying they’re not even a crime,” President Trump said. “This is impeachment lite. This is the lightest impeachment in the history of our country by far. It’s not even like an impeachment. These people are stone-cold crooked.”
The president also recognized Pennsylvania’s favorites like Hershey’s chocolate, the Liberty Bell, and the Nittany Lions. President Trump also noted the state’s economy is better now than three years ago.
