Former President Donald Trump held a rally in Reading, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, speaking to a near-capacity crowd at the Santander Arena. The event was part of a one-day trip to the crucial swing state that also included a stop in Scranton. Trump's speech lasted approximately 90 minutes, during which he criticized the current administration and expressed his reasons for running for a second term.
The rally was marked by high energy, with thousands of supporters cheering, chanting, and waving signs. Trump's appearance was part of his campaign efforts in the lead-up to the next presidential election. He used the platform to send prayers to those affected by Hurricane Milton in Florida and criticized the current administration's response to the recent Hurricane Helene.
Trump's running mate, Senator JD Vance, is scheduled to hold a town hall on Saturday at Reading Aviation at Reading Regional Airport, according to Daily Local and The Morning Call. The event will start at 5:30 p.m., with doors opening at 2:30 p.m.
