The Daily Beast • • nation
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump held a rally at The Mitchell Center in Mobile, Alabama, but faced embarrassment as large sections of the 10,041-seat arena remained empty during his speech.
- Trump claimed he visited Alabama, which he said he won by 55 points (actual margin was 30 points in 2024), to show respect and support for Republican candidates ahead of the midterm elections.
- Other Republican speakers at the event included Sen. Tommy Tuberville, Rep. Barry Moore, and congressional candidates Jerry Carl and Rhett Marques, the latter facing a tight race in a GOP-favored district.
- Trump was accompanied by his aide Natalie Harp and far-right activist Laura Loomer, whom he praised during the rally and reiterated his controversial promise to give Americans $5,000 if Republicans keep control of Congress.
- The White House did not comment on the empty seats visible behind Trump during the event.
