Former President Donald Trump has reduced the number of rallies in the 2024 campaign compared to 2016. He held twenty-four rallies between June and September 2024, compared to seventy-two during the same period in 2016. His campaign plans to increase the frequency in the final weeks. Trump's camp said the key reasons for fewer rallies are that Trump is a well-known figure, rallies are expensive, and his age limits his energy. Trump’s campaign maintains that his rallies are still effective, while his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, has taken on more campaign events.
