President Donald Trump will launch his 2020 re-election campaign on Tuesday evening in Orlando, Florida. Crowds have been waiting for 40 hours to get into the 25,000 capacity Amway Center, and movie screens will be outside for the overflow crowd.
The Trump campaign is also using the 2020 launch event to promote watch parties across the nation and register voters to organize Trump’s grassroots supporters.
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan also launched his re-election campaign in an Orange County (Mile Square Park in Southern California) and went on to win 49 states in trouncing Democrat Walter Mondale. Trump will have a much tougher path back the White House—much of it because of self-inflicted wounds and advisers who are not versed in the America-first agenda that got Trump elected in 2016—and tonight’s rally will be a chance for Trump to try to get his swagger back and energize his supporters.
Stay tuned to Breitbart News throughout the evening for live updates. All times eastern.

7:55 PM: Ahead of Trump’s re-election launch, 2020 Dems calling Trump a “racist,” sexist, bigot, etc…
.@realDonaldTrump is a racist. It was racist to target these innocent, young men back then & it is racist to refuse to apologize to them now. I pushed to settle the case because it was the right thing to do after decades of injustice. (1/2)

I applaud @WhenTheySeeUs for sharing this story with the next generation because the struggle is far from over. (2/2)
