Trump’s rally is set to begin a little after 7 pm ET, bat or no bat.

UPDATE: The bat has reportedly been removed from the venue.

Trump rally bat update: "It was captured and released WITHOUT HARM. We were very kind to the animal." according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

I believe I saw animal control involved, but am currently waiting for confirmation from my source.
