Trump's biggest rally might not be in a red state, or even in the United States. It's likely to be inside a cricket stadium in Gujarat state, in western India, packed as promised by the President's loyal counterpart.
Trump has proclaimed 7 to 10 million people will come to watch him as he arrives for his first visit to India on Monday and speaks from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's hometown Ahmedabad. The city's population is only around 8 million and the stadium's capacity is closer to 110,000, so Trump's figures might be slightly off.
Administration officials insisted the President would raise the issue when he's visiting India, even though he usually avoids raising contentious human rights issues that might irritate negotiations with foreign leaders."This is something that is important to the President and I'm sure it will come up," an official said during a pre-trip briefing.
