Trump Campaign Opts for Smaller Venue in Asheville Rally

Facing financial and logistical challenges, Trump is compelled to pay $82,000 upfront for a 2,400-seat auditorium.

Trump's rally will be held in the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, which has a maximum capacity of 2,431 seats.
The campaign chose the smaller venue over the nearby 7,200-seat arena, raising questions about attendance expectations.
Asheville officials required advance payment to cover venue rental, security, and staffing costs.
Trump's campaign has outstanding invoices in multiple cities for past rally expenses.
The rally was organized last-minute amid declining poll numbers and financial constraints.
