Donald Trump’s short time in the White House was a disaster for hard working Texas families and we are confident that, if he is the Republican nominee in 2024, our state will reject his failed vision.” “He has expressed skepticism and outright hostility toward the federal government, the deep state,” Flavin said. I look forward to welcoming him and his many Central Texas supporters on Saturday.” Holland said the Trump campaign did not ask the local Republican Party to assist with the rally, but that Republicans here are looking forward to Trump’s arrival and would help if needed. Why the Trump campaign chose Waco remains the subject of speculation.

The City of Waco shared more about its preparations to host former President Donald Trump's first rally of his 2024 campaign on Saturday.

Parking and the line for entry open at 8 a.m. Passengers will have a separate drive to the airport, through Karl May Drive. The city said safety is its top priority.

Former President Donald Trump is holding a rally as a 2024 presidential candidate in Waco, which carries great symbolic value to anti-government extremists.

Debated to this day is the question of [whether the candidate’s paean](https://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/09/opinion/09brooks.html) to states’ rights, combined with his failure to mention the martyred trio, represents an early example of what has come to be called dog-whistle politics — in other words, conveying a subtle message for those with ears to hear, while maintaining plausible deniability. Ronald Reagan — “appearing in an open-necked shirt and red clay-stained shoes,” a local reporter noted — assured a mostly white crowd that day that he was a firm believer in “states’ rights,” an oft-used code in the South in those days for racial segregation and discrimination.
