Hundreds of Donald Trump followers were left stranded in the California desert after a rally in the Coachella Valley over the weekend.
The rally was held at an outdoor venue where temperatures soared to over 100 degrees. Despite the intense heat, thousands of passionate Trump supporters braved the elements to hear the former president speak. During the rally, some supporters reportedly collapsed because of the stifling heat.
Prior to the event, several buses were provided to transport supporters to the rally location. However, after the rally, poorly organized transportation logistics and a lack of basic services left many attendees scrambling to find their way home, with many stranded miles from their cars after the event ended, as reported by the Times of San Diego.
Videos posted on X, formerly Twitter, show a large number of people waiting in line after the rally. One, filmed from a bus departing the venue, has what appears to be a bus driver shouting to those waiting telling them that this is the last bus, with another passenger saying: “No more buses, they just got notice.”
A different video posted by an attendee shows the aftermath, describing it as “chaos,” with many facing the prospect of an estimated “two-hour walk” through the desert to get back to a parking lot, likely without water or shelter.
This is not the first time attendees have been left high and dry after one of Trump’s rallies. As reported previously by Newsweek, rally-goers were left stranded in the cold in 2020 after a Trump event in Omaha when coaches failed to pick them up.
