52% : Under the direction of South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (R-S.D.), Trump improvised at the end of the event and hosted a little music party for supporters after two medical emergencies occurred back to back in the crowd, which appeared to be prompted by participants becoming overheated and passing out.
52% : It seemed almost intimate, and, at the end, Trump did something he very rarely does as he came down off the stage and mingled with his supporters," he explained.
40% : Following a second incident of a crowd member collapsing, Trump explained that the doors were to remain closed for security reasons before attempting to lighten the mood.
31% : "Trump appears lost, confused, and frozen on stage as multiple songs play for 30+ minutes and the crowd pours out of the venue early," posted Kamala Harris' campaign X account.
31% : According to insiders who spoke with the press, Trump even sacrificed his own safety, with the onslaught of prior assassination attempts, by allowing the doors to be opened in order to avoid anymore people passing out.
29% : Nevertheless, the Kamala HQ X account still seized the opportunity to portray Trump as "lost, confused, and frozen on stage as multiple songs play for 30+ minutes and the crowd pours out of the venue early" by sharing a series of edited clips.
