WILDWOOD, N.J. (CBS) — Watch live as President Donald Trump holds a “Keep America Great” campaign rally in Wildwood. New Jersey Congressman Jeff Van Drew’s switch from the Democratic to Republican Party after voting against impeachment sparked the rally.
The Wildwoods Convention Center holds about 7,400 people, so seats are first-come, first-serve. For those who don’t get a seat inside, there will be jumbotrons outside.
