President Trump entered the arena at 9:57 p.m. to much fanfare. The crowd roared when he appeared on the Jumbotron.
He was accompanied by Kai Trump and Dana White. He shook hands and gave high fives to fans as he walked to his seat at the side of the Octagon. A Kid Rock song played over the speakers.
Others seated in Trump's vicinity that your pooler spotted included Secretary of State Marco Rubio, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr and his wife, Cheryl Hines, Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel.
Trump approached Joe Rogan and the two shook hands and embraced.
The arena is mostly full, though there are some patches of open seats on the lower level here and there. Pool is positioned in the rafters overlooking the arena.
