This was right after Erika Kirk said she forgave her husband's killer, btw

Tyler Bowyer, COO: "Kirk always wanted to figure out how to bring the Holy Spirit to a Trump rally."

I think TPUSA's accomplished bringing religious overtones to a Trump rally, which I don't think Trump could have done. He's too secular at heart, or at least, not as authentically Christian as Kirk.

‪If I had to guess, a really big percentage of credentialed press here is right-wing outlets, influencers, and interestingly, student newspapers. I couldn’t tell you the percentage of them vs. legacy media folks, but suffice to say, it’s much, much larger than expected.‬

Update: the stadium is completely packed to the rafters

I regret to inform you it is now completely packed

SPOTTED on the stadium floor: Steve Bannon, Raheem Kassam, Jack Posobiec, Scott Pressler. I'm hearing that several other big names MAGA influencers will also be arriving soon.

If the floor weren't closed to general attendees, I can assure you they'd be mobbed by everyone.

Since it's Sunday, the morning seems to be doubling as church service. Two Christian rock bands have played already. There is a really big wooden cross at the back of the stadium near the entrance.
