Nassau County Welcomes Trump Supporters

UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- Donald Trump's supporters started packing the Nassau Coliseum parking lot just after 8 a.m. on Wednesday in advance of the former president’s scheduled rally later in the evening. The doors will open at 3 p.m. and Trump is not expected until at least 7 p.m. Security is extraordinarily tight for Trump’s first rally since Sunday’s second assassination attempt. Measures were both seen and unseen, including visible sharpshooters and helicopters overhead. Police also said there were undercover operatives in the crowd.

  • Reports of Explosives False: Police clarified earlier reports on social media of explosives being found at the site were false. They said one person, who may have been training a bomb-detection dog near the site, was detained and is being questioned.

Supporters Rallying with Enthusiasm

Trump supporters were out in force as Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder unlocked the gate at the coliseum himself, signaling the start of an event he vowed would be the safest place in the country. First in line was Virginia Ciccotto of Massapequa Park who overnighted outside the coliseum.
