 On October 27th, 2020 people flooded Trump’s rally in Omaha, Nebraska anticipating to see President Trump one last time before election day on November 3rd. However, during this rally the frigid temperatures of about 34 degrees left people freezing while standing outside waiting  due to President Trump unexpectedly leaving early on the Air Force One. Almost all the buses used to transport everyone were backed up and completely delayed causing many to have to even walk back to their cars in order to get out of the freezing weather. About seven to eight people were taken to emergency care due to possible hypothermia caused by this lack of organization and preparation. This rally was poorly executed and caused many dilemmas and issues that could have easily been avoided.
