Watch parties are the thing this evening around the nation, as President Donald Trump launches his campaign for reelection in Orlando, Fla., which will be live streamed starting at 4 pm Alaska time. Tens of thousands are planning to attend the event live, but elsewhere, Trump supporters will gather to watch on television.
In Alaska, we found two Trump launch watch parties:
Fairbanks: 4611 Maresh Avenue, the home of Ralph and Connie Seekins, 4 pm.
Anchorage: KOAN (radio)-sponsored party at Flattop Pizza, 600 West 6th, with host Eddie Burke, from 3:30-5:30 pm.
Both events are free.
