Local supporters of President Donald Trump are heading for Nashville this afternoon to join the president for his rally there.

A busload of some 50 Republicans from Chattanooga will leave around 12:30 p.m., Hamilton County GOP Executive Director Kathy Holloway said.

Joe DeGaetano, county party chairman, said he thinks local Republicans hope the president will talk about his health care proposals.

President Trump’s first 100 days

“Everybody is interested in potential changes in the health care law and what it might mean for all Tennesseans,” DeGaetano said. “In general, this is a pretty unique opportunity to see a sitting president speak in person, which is enough motivation for a lot of folks going up to Nashville.”

Rose Morgan, a local psychoanalyst who will be on the bus trip, said she’s going in order to let the president know he has her support.
