Rallies organized by the No Kings network opposed to President Donald Trump were held Saturday in cities and communities across the U.S., with an aim of getting people out to vote early in the midterm elections.
Among them was an event Saturday afternoon along Penn Avenue in Wyomissing. Charles Corbit of the Berks County Democratic Committee said the wind and cold weather deterred turnout, but also “people are just ready to vote and get it over with.”
The hundreds of planned events were billed as nonpartisan, though they sought to build on nearly two years’ worth of No Kings marches and demonstrations by people upset with Trump’s presidency.
