HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- There is a sea of red at the Toyota Center as people patiently wait to see President Donald Trump's MAGA rally.
The doors were supposed to open up at 3:30 p.m. for the "Make America Great Again" rally, but organizers began to let people in just after 2 p.m. due to the overwhelming response.
