With President Donald Trump trailing opponent Joe Biden by double digits in national polls, about 50 diehard supporters of the president gathered for an event dubbed “March 4 Trump” in downtown Austin at noon on Oct. 17.

“Donald Trump is the candidate that puts America first,” said Jen Loh, organizer of the event. The event was conceived to counter the media’s overly critical portrayal of Trump’s presidency, said Loh, president of the group Texans United for America.

The march, the fourth annual iteration of the event, attracted a smaller crowd than previous marches, which have seen upward of 300 attendees. The marchers were unfazed by the lackluster turnout and insisted it wasn’t a sign of flailing support for an embattled president.
