Several supporters gathered to greet the president’s motorcade, reported ABC Television affiliate WSYX, noting that the crowd had nearly doubled in size when Biden was leaving.
“It’s something I’ve never experienced before, so it’s cool to see something new and see the president in person for the first time,” one participant told the local news.
In addition to supporters, the report noted that there were about 20 protesters present, some of whom were waving Trump 2020 flags, and there was at least one sign that said “Biden is not my president.”
