1. Campaign rally flop

Invited 2,000

“About 400 or so here” - @JenniferJJacobs

Even Fox News agrees (with a little rounding up?): “about 500” showed up.

2. Covid precaution flop

Looks like they’re packing people closer together for a better photo image.

2. Fox News host:

“They were wearing masks but they were definitely kind of sandwiched in together.”

3. And in terms of the #HatchAct violation:

“This will be a campaign speech. ... No doubt about it. This is the same kind of remark that he would be giving if he were doing this in front of a large audience at a MAGA rally.”
