A bizarre rally today in New Jersey -- I saw claims of 100,000 attending, more likely it was 30,000, which is still a goodly number - though New Jersey voted 2.6 million to 1.8 million for Biden in 2020 and I would be surprised to see that number change, especially not for this guy: Saving us from Trump:
