Trump's rally in Albuquerque faces venue challenges over unpaid city bill

Donald Trump faced challenges in securing a venue for his rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico, due to an unpaid bill of nearly $445,000 from a previous event in 2019. The city denied access to the Albuquerque Convention Center, leading the campaign to seek alternative locations. After the initial venue was rejected, the campaign planned to use a private airplane hangar but encountered issues with parking arrangements. The campaign is now utilizing multiple parking lots across the city and encouraging attendees to use rideshare services. The situation marks a shift from previous events where the campaign had access to city facilities. Mayor Tim Keller emphasized that unpaid debts would not be tolerated in future arrangements.
