Dear Commons Community,

A New York City rally to protest against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s purported plans to indict the former president fell spectacularly on its face yesterday after more journalists showed up to the event than pro-Trump activists.

An email obtained by Newsweek hours earlier announced that the “peaceful protest” was set for 6 p.m. local time in lower Manhattan, organized by the New York Young Republican Club.

“I’m at the pro-Trump protest put on by the NY Young Republicans Club,” tweeted Ben Collins, senior reporter for NBC News, shortly after the protest started. “Not a joke, there are more reporters here than Trump supporters. This was supposed to be the big one.”
