Dozens of Arizona rallygoers suffer heat exhaustion as Trump event venue reaches capacity – Washington Examiner
During a recent rally for former President Donald Trump in Glendale, Arizona, many attendees suffered from heat exhaustion as temperatures soared above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Over 100 individuals required medical attention from emergency crews while waiting to enter the Desert Diamond Arena, with at least one person reported to have collapsed. Glendale fire officials reported that the high number of heat-related illnesses strained their resources, making timely responses difficult. Additionally, some rallygoers were turned away as the venue reached its maximum capacity, further complicating the situation. Reports indicated that some individuals chose to leave due to heat concerns, and several were taken to hospitals for treatment.
Dozens of Arizona rallygoers suffer heat exhaustion as Trump event venue reaches capacity
Scores of rallygoers have been afflicted with heat exhaustion and needed medical care as they awaited entry into former President Donald Trump’s rally in Arizona. At least one collapsed.
The heat in Glendale, Arizona, exceeded 100 degrees.
Glendale fire officials told ABC15, “We have evaluated, treated and transported to local medical facilities many individuals for various reasons which depleted our ability to respond in a timely manner.” More than 100 rallygoers were contacted by Glendale emergency crews related to heat-related illnesses while waiting to get into Desert Diamond Arena, where Trump is speaking.
Reporting from the scene later showed people being turned away from the arena as it had reached max capacity.
The rally is highly anticipated, more than usual. Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who endorsed Trump, made a speaking appearance at the rally along with Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake.
Arizona is a very contested swing state. Trump’s lead in the state has dwindled since Vice President Kamala Harris’s inclusion. According to Decision Desk Hq’s polling average, they are essentially tied.
Without Arizona, Trump will have a narrow path to victory. Harris has closed the distance in several other swing states like Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.
