Trump supporter Gene Huber was first in line at the rally Saturday in Melbourne, Florida.
Early in the day the national media interviewed Gene and he praised Trump. Huber said the media was against President Trump but the people were standing with Trump.
At the weekend Florida rally President Trump spotted Gene in the crowd and had him come up on stage.
It was a terrific moment!

On Monday Gene went on with Varney and Co. Gene told Stewart Varney his grandmother saw him on TV on Saturday. Gene said she was smiling when she saw him on TV. On Monday morning she passed away.
Gene got choked up as he told the story.
