Attendees of a late-night Trump rally at the airport in Omaha, Nebraska, have been stranded for a time in the cold at the site because of limited traffic flow on the two-lane road that accesses the private east side of the airport where the rally was held.
A large portion of the crowd, estimated to be in the thousands, remained at the site waiting on buses hours after Trump’s plane had departed, according to reporters on the scene. Outside temps are about at the freezing point.
If you’re waiting on someone who attended the @realDonaldTrump rally in #Omaha, it may be a while until they get on a bus and get out.

President Trump took off in Air Force One 1 hr 20 minutes ago, but thousands of his supporters remain stranded on a dark road outside the rally. “We need at least 30 more buses,” an Omaha police officer just said, shaking his head at the chaotic cluster that is unfolding.
They say they have no estimate for how long clearing the area might take, but to my eye, it could take into the early morning to get folks cleared out.
