As President Trump rallied inside Target Center, thousands of protesters demonstrated outside.

The rally was Trump’s first campaign appearance since the House formally began an impeachment inquiry against him. Thousands of supporters attended the downtown Minneapolis event — with some waiting hours in line to get in.
