MELBOURNE — People wishing to see President Donald Trump in Melbourne on Saturday are probably out of luck.
"There are no more passes available," said Lori Booker, a spokeswoman for Orlando Melbourne International Airport, the location of Trump's 5 p.m. visit on Saturday.
Booker said passes became available at noon Wednesday and were gone by early Thursday morning.
Booker said she believes there were about 9,000 passes, though she's not sure of the total. The Secret Service is in charge of Trump's visit to Melbourne on Saturday and those officials have a better handle on how many people were being let in to the see the president.
