Donald Trump victim of his success?

Several hundred of his supporters were abandoned by 0 ° C on Tuesday evening after a meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, six days before the US presidential election.

According to local media, at least six people had to be hospitalized, some after walking 4 km because there were not enough chartered buses.

Donald Trump gave a nearly 60-minute speech, which ended shortly after 9 p.m. on the tarmac at Eppfield Airport.

Between 10,000 and 20,000 supporters were present despite the cold.

According to the

Omaha World Herald

, at least 30 buses were missing to get everyone back to the parking lot.

Thousands of people left out in the cold and stranded in #Omaha, #Nebraska after a #Trump rally.

I'm told the shuttles aren't operating & there aren't enough busses.

Police didn't seem to know what to do.

Some walked.

I saw at least one woman getting medical attention.

A battle for a great voter

Why did Donald Trump stop in Nebraska, a state he is sure to win?

Omaha sits on the border with Iowa, for which the US President and Joe Biden are neck and neck.

More importantly, Nebraska, like Maine, allocates its grand voters with a dose of proportionality, and one of the five votes goes to the winner of parliamentary elections that take place at the same time as the presidential election.

If Donald Trump had won this 2nd district with 2 points ahead in 2016, he is 6 points behind Joe Biden, according to the poll average.

And while her delay is greater than against Hillary Clinton in some swing states, every vote will count in the race for 270 votes from the electoral college.
