SCHNECKSVILLE, Pa.—Hundreds of fans lined up at least eight hours in advance of former President Donald Trump’s speech here, despite chilly, rainy conditions.

A small contingent of protesters say they will show up at today’s rally in Schnecksville, a community of about 4,000 people. But, overall, “I expect a boisterous and happy crowd to see the president,” Kevin Dellicker, a Republican congressional candidate for Pennsylvania’s seventh district, told The Epoch Times.

“I'll be there myself with many of my supporters,” Mr. Dellicker said, adding that his Republican rivals, Maria Montero, and Ryan Mackenzie, are also expected to attend.

By 5 p.m. ET, nearly all the chairs and bleachers were filled at the outdoor venue, as thousands more waited in lines that snaked around the perimeter.
President Trump is scheduled to speak at 7 p.m. ET. The Epoch Times’ sister media NTD will be livestreaming his speech.
