A viral video appearing to show attendees leaving President Donald Trump's speech midway through his remarks is spreading widely online, prompting debate over crowd engagement at the event. A clip shared on social media platform X, which has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times, appears to show people walking toward exits during Trump's June 24 speech on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Newsweek analysis of official C-SPAN footage from the event found the widely shared moment corresponds to 9:08 p.m. local time"roughly halfway through the speech, not near its conclusion. A separate post from Jared Poland, who was reporting live from the event on the ground, said: "The crowd has really thinned out since Trump began speaking around 8:50pm."
