That included providing water bottles inside the event and to those in line. Security also allowed plastic water bottles and small umbrellas. There were also misting and cooling stations as well as tent space that had shade and air conditioning.
This comes after 11 people were hospitalized for heat exhaustion after waiting in line for a Trump rally in Phoenix on Thursday.
