Donald Trump held a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where some of his supporters camped out overnight in their cars to see him. Trump’s rallies are a key feature of his campaign, designed to create an emotional experience for his base and attract new supporters. The rallies are meticulously planned and Trump is involved in every detail, including the music. Attendees register with the campaign to attend the rallies, which are also used to collect data, attract media coverage, and recruit volunteers. The rallies are held in battleground states like Wisconsin, where Trump narrowly lost to Biden in 2020. The events are carefully stagecrafted to entertain the crowd and reinforce Trump’s message that the country needs to be fixed. During the rally, Trump repeated false claims about the 2020 election being stolen and made promises about deportations and building a wall. The speech had a religious tone and included pledges of loyalty and protection between Trump and his supporters. The rally ended with Trump exiting the stage to an R&B song.

Residents of the remote town of Burgeo in Newfoundland and Labrador are eagerly awaiting Monday’s rare solar eclipse to recreate history on Eclipse Island, discovered by Captain James Cook. The town is preparing to celebrate the celestial event by rebuilding a historic beacon on the island while watching the eclipse, with totality lasting about two minutes. The restoration of the beacon will be funded by the National Marine Conservation Area and Sandbanks Provincial Park and run by solar power. The eclipse will be part of a path slicing through Mexico into Texas and across 14 U.S. states and four provinces of Canada, creating a carnival atmosphere with millions of enthusiasts making travel plans. In Burgeo, a community-focused event will include singing, drumming, and traditional ceremonies to celebrate indigenous culture and heritage.
