TAMPA, Florida – More than twenty thousand people filled the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheater Monday night to rally for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. The rally was Trump’s second of the day as part of a five-city, three-day swing through the Sunshine State. Trump was introduced by former Florida State University head football coach Bobby Bowden.
Below are exclusive pictures and videos from Breitbart News reporters covering the event. The crowd of more than 20,000 made the event one of the largest campaign events of the 2016 election cycle.
