After a rally on October 27, 2020 at Eppley Airfield in Omaha, Nebraska, hundreds of supporters were left in freezing temperatures. Buses couldn’t navigate the airport roads, and more delays were created when many decided to walk the few miles back to the parking area. Emergency teams had to tend to those most vulnerable, resulting in 30 hospitalizations.
At the rally, Trump had remarked, “Is there any place you would rather be than a Trump rally on about a 10-degree evening? … It’s cold out here, but that’s OK.”
