Vermont Democrats to select three Presidential Electors, hold platform convention before national convention
When two woman from the small Lamoille County town of Waterville started waving Trump signs from the road sides and street corners, they were pleasantly shocked at the overwhelmingly positive response. It wasn’t long before others joined them.
With a few Trump flags, a big blue Toyota Tundra, now known as TheTrump truck, and a mission to get Trump in office, the Vermont Trump Brigade was started.
“In just a few weeks we have had sign waves in 10 towns and a showing in the Milton 4th of July Parade,” co-organizer Rebecca Pitre of Waterville said. “The Brigade is growing! Our hope is to reach out to the entire state, with one mission, ‘To encourage Vermonters to be bold in showing their support of Donald Trump for President in 2024.”
Many Trump supporters in Vermont’s political environment feel as though they are in enemy territory. The Vermont Trump Brigade is finding quite the opposite, Pitre said. “The response to our presence has been overwhelmingly positive. There are a ton of conservatives out there eager to show support.”
