President Donald Trump is holding a campaign rally at WesBanco Arena in Wheeling, West Virginia Saturday night to support the Republican U.S. Senate candidate, West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, in his campaign against the incumbent Democrat Senator Joe Manchin.
Photos and video from the rally site show huge lines of people stretched for a dozen or more blocks through downtown Wheeling on a beautiful fall day.
WTOV-TV reporter Kristen Tuell said of the massive turnout by Trump supporters, “People as far as the eye can see!! A huge line along Main Street leading to @WesBancoArena…Some folks have been out here since 7 am this morning.”
