Donald Trump's Texas rally was marred by empty seats, which he claimed would 'sort of migrate downwards'.

Donald Trump's Texas rally was marked by empty seats, which he attempted to downplay. When the camera panned, empty seats were clearly visible in the upper levels of the stadium.

The rally was aimed at boosting struggling GOP Senate candidate Ken Paxton, but it seems that Trump's efforts may be in vain. With his poor approval ratings, the Iran war, and soaring gas prices threatening Republicans in virtually every state, it's clear that Trump's message is not resonating with voters.

At least 18 hecklers were removed from President Trump's rally in Texas, with the president using the moments to claim that a Democrat-run city is using America's own freedom of speech to spread a left-wing agenda against his administration in the midterm elections. President Trump's rally in Texas was disrupted by multiple hecklers, leading to the removal of at least 18 attendees. The president used the moments to claim that a Democrat-run city is using America's own freedom of speech to spread a left-wing agenda against his administration in the midterm elections.
