I saw Joe Biden today!!!

He had a rally in San Antonio. About 600 people were there.

Afterward, he took as many selfies as possible, but he finally had to give up before he could get to us. I was only about 20 feet away from him when he spoke.

Other than a few Trumpers invading the rally, it was a great event!

1. 600 isn't much of a turnout, that's a shame.

He was in town for a fund raiser, so he decided to hold a rally before hand.
The venue was not very large

3. What time of day was it? I lived in San Antonio for 10 years, most everybody works during the day.

If it would have been after 5pm or Sat, I'm sure you'd have seen a lot more people.

4. It was from 4 - 6 pm at Plaza Juarez in La Villita

It was a short notice event.

He was in town for a fund raiser and on Monday decided to hold a free rally.

Whoever wins the nomination will probably not have rallies in Texas, so this was a rare opportunity. Warren and Booker held rallies in Austin earlier this fall.
