Trump has departed Andrews AFB to Minnesota for a rally in Rochester.
People lined up overnight outside the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester Thursday to see President Trump speak at 6:30 p.m. after he attends a private fundraiser at a metro-area hotel.
Stan Thom, of Big Lake, Minn., drove 120 miles Thursday morning to see President Trump speak at 6:30 p.m.
Rochester was chosen as Trump’s destination to give a boost to the First District’s Republican congressional candidate, Jim Hagedorn of Blue Earth. He’s locked in a tight match with Democrat Dan Feehan of North Mankato. U.S. Rep. Tim Walz, a Democrat who now holds the seat, is running for governor.
Other GOP candidates will be there to share the spotlight. Election results in the state could be key to Democrats’ hopes of reclaiming control of the U.S. House and Senate.
“We’re prepared for both [Trump] supporters as well as those protesting,” said Steve Rymer, Rochester’s city administrator.
Streets will be closed around the Civic Center and public transit will be free. The Rochester Public Library, City Hall and Government Center are within the security perimeter in the area around the rally site and will close at 3 p.m.
Temporary flight restrictions could cause airport delays. Trump will depart Minnesota after the rally.
