Fagan, who has seen dozens of events at the location before, revealed that the numbers far exceeded expectations for a political rally.
The figures significantly surpass the initial estimate of up to 40,000.
The crowd size makes the New Jersey event the largest rally for Trump’s 2024 campaign thus far.
The event is being called the largest political rally in New Jersey’s history.
