In the 13 reelection events since returning to the campaign trail following his COVID-19 diagnosis, President Trump has attracted more than 167,000 rally goers, many of them first-time voters and even more who are not Republicans.
According to GOP rally data posted by Republican Party Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, the Trump airport campaign events strongly suggest that he is building out his base and that media reports the president is only talking to his core constituency are wrong.
Fantastic data from @realDonaldTrump’s rally in Sanford:
✅ 15,852 voters identified
✅ 31.8% were NOT Republicans
✅ 16.3% were Democrat
✅ 24.4% did not vote in 2016
✅ 14.4% did not vote in the last 4 elections
Thank you, Florida!

Her reports, based on information taken by attendees and those who signed up to attend, show that about one quarter did not vote in 2016, and a third were not even Republicans.
For example, at Trump’s Oct. 17 stop in Janesville, Wisconsin, McDaniel said that 47.5% of the 13,850 said they were not Republicans.
