If you want to better understand the kind of people who make up President Trump’s coalition, go to one of his rallies.
Despite the media’s stereotypical image of the Trump voter, Keep America Great rallies attract voters from all demographics across the political spectrum who have been energized by his policies. These patriotic Americans love our country and all it stands for. Trump supporters are not ashamed of our history, our Constitution, or our foundation. They just want to live in Great America, and Donald Trump is the only leader who openly shares this goal.
After attending dozens of Trump rallies across the country, I can say definitively that there is no politician in America who can rally voters like this president can—and the data we’ve collected from those events bears that out. As I’ve said since 2016, the data doesn’t lie.
From over 20,000 identified voters who attended Trump’s recent rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 57.9 percent had no history of voting Republican. Interestingly, 4,413 attendees had not even voted in the last election — a clear sign that President Trump is energizing Americans who had not previously engaged in politics.
The Milwaukee rally was not unique in this regard. It was the same as other rallies the president has held across the country.
Almost 22 percent identified supporters at President Trump’s rally in Toledo, Ohio, were Democrats, with another 21 percent being independents. A staggering 15 percent of identified voters who saw the president’s speech in Battle Creek, Michigan, did not vote in any of the last four elections. In Hershey, Pennsylvania, just over 20 percent of identified voters at the rally were Democrats and 18 percent were nonwhite.
List of mind-blowing rally stats it goes further. And further. And further.
These numbers are nothing tiny of extraordinary, especially given the polarized political environment that the “#Resist” movement has created over the past three years. Trump supporters face hostility and even outright violence simply for wearing MAGA clothing in public. Yet they show up by the thousands at Keep America Great rallies because they are so enthusiastic about the president’s promises being kept.
When President Trump holds a rally, they wait in line for hours — and in some cases, days — just to see him on stage and applaud his accomplishments. Unlike the political elites in Washington, these voters understand that American greatness is at stake in the upcoming election, and that the only candidate in the race who has what it takes to keep America great is the one who has spent the last three years restoring it to greatness.
President Trump’s coalition defies stereotypes by delivering results that offer something for everyone. Anyone who attends a Keep America Great rally can see this for themselves.
