Audience members shouted that the room was too hot.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"ad-backstage-wrap\" class=\"ad-wrap backstage\" aria-label=\"advertisement\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>As medics attended to people affected by the heat, Trump and Noem waited on stage. During the first pause, the crowd sang \u201cGod Bless America\u201d together, after which Trump asked for someone to put the song \u201cAve Maria\u201d on the sound system. An instrumental version soon began playing.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after the town hall resumed, there was another call for a medic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s steaming in here!\u201d one man yelled as they waited for assistance, and the instrumental Ave Maria played once again, until the woman affected received help.<\/p>\n<p>Trump joked about the heat in the room: \u201cPersonally, I enjoy this. We lose weight. We could do this, lose 4, 5 pounds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump then called for his \u201cfavorite chart\u201d to be put up on screens -\u2013 the chart of border crossings that had been displayed in Butler, Pa., on July 13 when an assassin shot at Trump, hitting his ear. In addition, he asked that someone play a version of Ave Maria sung by Luciano Pavarotti.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll do a little music. Let\u2019s make this a musical-fest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump stood on stage until the song was over, at which point he stopped the question-and-answer portion of the evening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s not do anymore questions. Let\u2019s just listen to music,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"ad-secondary-wrap\" class=\"ad-wrap secondary\" aria-label=\"advertisement\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>Later, Trump ended the question portion and asked the audience to stick around.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy the way, when we leave, you don\u2019t have to go so fast. You can sit and listen. We\u2019ll play a couple of songs. Some of you will be a little warm, but that\u2019s OK. It\u2019s not a bad thing. And if you want, we\u2019re gonna do that, but I think it would be beautiful. Don\u2019t you think? A little different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019d be amazing, sir,\u201d Noem said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNice to have imagin- isn\u2019t it a nice thing to have imagination?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump remained on stage for more than half an hour while an array of songs played, including \u201cHallelujah\u201d as performed by Rufus Wainwright, as well as \u201cNovember Rain\u201d by Guns \u2018n\u2019 Roses.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Trump, posting on his Truth social, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TruthTrumpPosts\/status\/1846190444041961983\">called the evening &#8220;amazing.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Q and A was almost finished when people began fainting from the excitement and heat,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We started playing music while we waited, and just kept it going. So different, but it ended up being a GREAT EVENING!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The town hall came as three weeks remain in the voting season and Trump and Harris remain statistically tied, according to most polls.  Both candidates are delivering their closing messages <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2024\/10\/14\/nx-s1-5152860\/kamala-harris-donald-trump-enemy-within\">and drawing a contrast from their rival<\/a> as they crisscross the country. Trump will deliver remarks on the economy in Chicago Tuesday, and pretape a town hall with women voters on Fox News that will air Wednesday. Harris is doing a town hall with the popular radio host Charlamagne tha God in her attempt to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2024\/10\/13\/nx-s1-5151968\/harris-weed-crypto\">reach Black male voters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2024\/10\/15\/g-s1-28276\/trump-town-hall\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president, holds a town hall at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center on Monday in Oaks, Pa.
