Amazing night in Winston-Salem. Over 15,000 turned out to welcome @realDonaldTrump back to North Carolina – which is absolutely Trump Country! #FourMoreYears #MAGA #NCGOP pic.twitter.com/A1waSLK0vH

The outdoor airport rally was staged on the tarmac of Smith Reynolds Airport, rather than in a hangar. Trump’s previous rally held last week at the Arnold Palmer Airport in Latrobe, Pennsylvania was in a hangar that could only hold a few thousand supporters. That rally had an overflow crowd on a nearby airport property that was larger than the crowd in the hangar. President Trump and his campaign team apparently adjusted their planning to accommodate large airport rally crowds by holding this next rally on the tarmac.
Video of Trump’s arrival posted by Dan Scavino shows the huge crowd on the tarmac. Trump did an unusual long walk to the stage so that he and the people in the back could make direct contact.
