Supporters of Donald Trump were left out in the cold for the third time in a week after reported transport problems at president's rally in Georgia
Hundreds of fans were left waiting in 46-degree temperatures for hours as the president left Rome for his next rally in Florida, according to NBC News.
The traffic delays were in part due to a single, narrow road in and out of the venue shared by pedestrians, cars, busses and emergency vehicles.
NBC News reporter Julie Tsirkin captured scenes from the rally aftermath showing hundreds laying on the ground while others tried to hitch a ride out amid the high wind area of the rally.
It was a similar scene found in Pennsylvania and Nebraska, where some supporters were rushed to hospital after being stranded in freezing temperatures.
Mr Trump's rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday saw "thousands" of supporters wandering into the 41-degree night with no access to shuttles they expected to bus them between the rally and parking.
CNN political reporter DJ Judd tweeted images from the scene showing people blocking the street from ambulances and police, while reporter Ryan Nobles said many supporters were out in the cold for four to five hours waiting to hear Mr Trump speak.

“It became so frustrating for many of these Trump supporters, they ended up just walking,” Mr Nobles told CNN's Anderson Cooper. “That is the decision that our crew made, my producer and I walked about a mile to get to our parking lot.”
Three days earlier, seven people were taken to hospital and 30 were contacted for medical reasons after a rally at Eppley Airfield in Omaha, Nebraska left supporters stranded in freezing temperatures for hours.
Joe Biden said following the rally that the president's failure to plan responsibly was a snapshot of the president’s approach to the coronavirus pandemic.
