“It’s going to take at least four more years to drain that swamp,” Pence told audience in The Villages, a sprawling retirement community in Central Florida with a critical bloc of conservative voters.
Undeterred by the heat and unbothered by the lack of social distancing, Pence found a receptive crowd in several thousand people who packed a parking lot to watch him. They didn’t need convincing.

Here in the Villages, they’re barraged by pro-Trump sentiments all day, via the Fox News radio programming that’s pumped through the speakers of their community squares. When many of them go home, they watch Fox News on cable.

Despite the ongoing public health concerns from the coronavirus outbreak, the Trump campaign is undergoing a blitz of in-person campaign events in Florida. Donald Trump Jr., the president’s son, traveled across the state Friday with stops from the Panhandle to Tampa. Pence held a rally with Latinos before his event in The Villages. Trump Jr. returns to Tampa on Sunday, followed by Second Lady Karen Pence on Monday.
Every Trump Rally is a COVID Party.
