JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – For the second time in a month, Jacksonville’s waterways were teeming with boats filled with supporters of President Donald Trump — this time to celebrate the president’s birthday. The rally, dubbed “Trump’s Birthday Boat Rally,” began on Sunday morning. The Republican Party of Duval County tweeted photos of the event saying more than 1,000 boats joined the boat rally. The rally comes days after Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel announced that Jacksonville will host part of the Republican National Convention. “Momentous and historic things are happening in Jacksonville and this is just one way to build up to a crescendo resulting in the Republican National Convention being held in Jacksonville," Black said.

The rally, dubbed “Trump’s Birthday Boat Rally,” is scheduled to kick off on Sunday morning, according to a Facebook event flyer. Boaters plan to disembark from Metropolitan Park at 11 a.m. and cruise down the St. Johns River to Fleming Island. “Rig up those patriotic flags, fuel up the boat, and head out to meet a couple thousand of your fellow Trump supporters for a day on the beautiful St. Johns River,” organizers stated in the flyer. One commenter said that “Florida weather forecasts are 100% Fake News,” while another said the rally "is rain or shine!”
