Was there clapping and cheering during the presser today?

I read here people reporting they heard it.
Any confirmation and if so who was cheering?

And I bet there were many more plants.
To me it sounded like 18-25 people and at least half in the crowd. They were also laughing along jovially to his jokes. I want to see the list of who was invited.

When I was listening, there wasn't all that much cheering going on and sounded like a small glee club.

A press conference with a cheerleading squad-- how low can he go?
