An electric crowd of enthusiastic Trump supporters flocked to Jacksonville, Florida’s Cecil Airport for President Trump’s rally on Thursday — just weeks ahead of the pivotal presidential election.
With less than 40 days until the presidential election, President Trump visited the crucial battleground state of Florida, which he secured by just over one percent in 2016. Hundreds of Trump supporters began lining up hours prior to the event, eager to be surrounded by like-minded patriots who support Trump’s presidency.

A common theme emerged throughout the series of interviews conducted by Breitbart News throughout the day. Trump supporters in Florida believe the silent majority is bigger and better than ever, and they say the left’s attempts to taint the president’s name will backfire on November 3.
“I think they want to scare people away. They want to intimidate people,” Trump supporter Daphne Cassani told Breitbart News. “The media’s on their side, so they want to put that out there as much as possible.”
“I think they want to make people afraid to be American and to speak out for America and to support America,” she added.
Trump supporter Gene Huber, who rose to MAGA fame after famously hugging the president onstage during a rally in Melbourne, Florida, in February 2017, said he believes the president’s support has “quadrupled.”
“The silent majority is so big, you know? It’s unfortunate a lot of people don’t like to talk about it due to, maybe they think something’s going to happen, but you better believe that silent majority is out there and it’s grown, quadrupled,” Huber, who showed up for the rally two days prior, stated.
“I like that word — quadrupled, as the size as it was four years ago,” he emphasized.
Several Trump supporters also predicted a massive victory for the president, come November.
Missy Jones said she believes that Trump will win by a “landslide” if Democrats do not cheat with mass mail-in voting.
“Even if they try, it’s still going to be a landslide. Because the American people, the heart of the American people is what’s coming out now,” Trump supporter Valerie DeVane added, noting that many Democrats are coming over to the Republican Party.
“Even on the Democratic side, even though you only see the left running their mouth, there’s a lot of Democrats switching right on over to Republican, for this election at least,” she said.
Breitbart News spoke to one Trump supporter, who voted for Obama once. She said the modern-day Democrat Party is virtually unrecognizable from that party she grew up with.
“I think there’s an extreme left agenda that has infiltrated the Democratic Party. It’s not the Democratic party I knew growing up,” she said. “I used to be a Democrat, but I had to jump ship and go to the Republican side,” Kristen Reese explained.
“And I voted for him [Obama] in the first term. But when I saw what he was doing to the country and shipping money overseas in a plane in the middle of the night,” she continued, adding that Trump just “really loves the country”:
