We asked a couple of people ahead of Wednesday's rally what they would like to hear the former president talk about.

"I just can't see anybody voting for Harris with the economy the way it is. The grocery prices the gas prices I am just hoping there's a big change and Trump gets in," said Robert Hughes from Old Forge.

"Our country needs help, and Trump is the only one who can turn things around. Most of the local people are for Trump but their voices are not being heard," added Melody Blosky from Dickson City.

Not everyone made it inside the venue only fits 3400 people.
