AHEAD of his rally in New Hampshire tonight, President Donald Trump ripped Democrats as have a “really boring deal going on.”
Trump tweeted several times this morning about his presidency and the state, one day before voters choose who they want to compete against him in the 2020 election.
“Will be in Manchester, New Hampshire, tonight for a big Rally. Want to shake up the Dems a little bit – they have a really boring deal going on.”
“Still waiting for the Iowa results, votes were fried,” he added. “Big crowds in Manchester!”
While results for the Iowa caucuses were released Sunday night, The Associated Press won’t declare a winner in the first contest leading into the general election.
The caucuses have been described as a “disaster” after a glitchy app with a “coding issue” muddled the results.
In the days after the caucuses, the Iowa Democratic Party made a number of corrections, but the results ultimately had irregularities.
Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign asked the state today to take another look at the vote tallies.
Sanders, former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and former Vice President Joe Biden are among Trump’s biggest rivals.
In another tweet about Trump’s rally, the president said: “Hope the Fake News, which never discusses it, is talking about the big crowds forming for my New Hampshire Rally tonight. They won’t!”
Trump’s rally is scheduled to take place at Southern New Hampshire University Arena at 7pm local time tonight.
Fans and supporters have been lining up outside the venue in cold, 20-degree weather since 8am Sunday, according to the New Hampshire Union Leader.
The first woman they reported was lined up early was Libby DePiero, a 64-year-old from Connecticut who said tonight’s event is the 59th Trump rally she’ll be attending.
“It’s a bit of an addiction,” DePiero told the news outlet. “I can’t wait for this one. He’s going to be all pumped up, because the impeachment is all over with.”
“He’s already posted he’s going to keep doing rallies after he becomes president, and I know he’s gonna be our president again.”
She continued: “This is nothing but good here. I became a citizen so I could vote for this president.”
The Union Leader reports the last time Trump visited New Hampshire to campaign was in August, when 11,500 people were inside the arena — setting a record attendance that beat out a performance from Elton John in 2001.
He told rallygoers at the time: “Whether you love me or hate me you have to vote for me.”
In November 2016, before he was elected president, Trump also visited the arena to an estimated 11,000 people in the crowd. The arena can reportedly hold 12,000.
New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, a Republican, told Fox News this morning he believes Trump will win the state’s vote in November.
“When [voters] go into that ballot box, that’s why they are going to be pulling the lever and Donald Trump is going to win New Hampshire — because we kind of match our pro-business message with his economic success.”
In 2016, New Hampshire gave Trump his first GOP primary victory but ultimately voted for Hillary Clinton in the general election.
A CNN poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire’s Survey Center released Monday found 90 percent of respondents said they will vote for Trump while 7 percent plan to vote for his opponent, former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld.
