the last sevl days several days this is a low key crowd. people filtering in and out. a lot of what you saw was not in this room. it was out in the hallways where you saw a trump celebrity culture. people trying to take pictures with steve bannon, matt gates, marjorie taylor green. today it does look as though they are going to fill this ballroom. there are already almost more seats that have been filled the entire time here. we know there s a pre-reception with hundreds of people in it that will be coming here later. they are expected to fill all of the seats here today which, as you said, is very important to the former president. it would be embarrassing given the way that this has become trump centered if he wasn t able to fill their seats and if he doesn t win that straw poll that they re expecting to announce soon. all right. kristin holmes, thank you very much. sources tell cnn donald trump is trying to keep his former vice president mike pence
