Thousands of Trump supporters in Omaha, Nebraska, were left stranded in the freezing cold Tuesday after shuttles from the rally to the nearby parking lots were delayed.
President Donald Trump departed from his rally aboard Air Force One around 9 p.m. while crowds dispersed around 12:30 a.m., according to NBC News.
CNN’s Jeff Zeleny said “thousands of [Trump] supporters remain stranded on a dark road outside the rally†and that an Omaha police officer said they needed “at least 30 more buses.â€
At least 30 people, including elderly rally attendees, a family with young kids and someone who used an electric wheelchair all required medical attention after waiting hours in the cold at the rally, per NBC.
Democratic State Sen. Megan Hunt said this was evidence Trump doesn’t care about voters.
“Supporters of the President were brought in, but buses weren’t able to get back to transport people out. It’s freezing and snowy in Omaha tonight. What people will do for this con man, what people have sacrificed , is so sad to me. He truly does not care about you. #OmahaRallyâ€
